I love my orchids. Once upon a time I would have though they were too difficult to grow, but have learned over time that I can and I have had some great success.
I first came to own orchids when we lived in Sydney way back in 1972 - we rented a house north of Sydney and the lady of the house was a keen orchid grower. She was concerned that her orchids would be neglected during her overseas holiday and our rental period there, so I was keen to see them at least survive. When she returned she was pleased that not only had they survived but by some divine good luck I suspect, they were flourishing. She gave me several pots. Over the years I have kept them growing, though there was a period when I was travelling that they didn't get my good care and some died.
When I moved to Beachmere, I brought some of them with me. Eventually my fernhouse arrived and they flourish in there.
The photos are of catteleya orchids. I have them adorning my house.
