I am stalking my own plants and flowers. I love them, I call them "my green babies". For me, they are silent pets: lovable, quiet, understanding, full of life, moody, different in preferences and personality.
Each time one of my silent pets is about to bloom, I'm stalking it day and night. I can go check up on it every 10 minutes (maybe something has already changed!). When I see the first bud, it's a national holiday in my home. And when the first flower opens to the world, I give a baby shower :))))
Not long after my first phalaenopsis bloom, the second orchid opens her sensual petals and lures me into her core.
OK, I'm re-posting the first one as well! They are just too beautiful...

Your orchids look very healthy. I have a few myself but they look miserable, compared to yours.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and photos.
Thank you, Maia :) I've lost a few of them and it got me mad. I studied on the internet how to care for them and now... we can all enjoy them!
DeleteBeautiful orchids!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you treat your plants!
I treat the flowers in my garden the same way.
Have a great weekend.
Mette

Deletestunning! you're like my mom--she even talks to her orchids.:p
ReplyDeleteI've tried that myself (the first time I was only 12) and I swear it works!
Deleteheheh, we used to tease our dad that he loved his orchid more than us.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest orchid lovers are men :)
DeleteBeautiful. Orchids are one of my favorite flowers.
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting. orchids are so gracious, you just can't escape their magic, isn't it?
DeleteGreat shots. I love the purple background!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I painted the wall myself and it brings me happiness each day:)
DeleteMine bloomed too....a real accomplishment since I'm of the neglect school of gardening when it comes to orchids. They seem to like the bathroom skylight.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I wish I had some proper light in the bathroom...
DeleteSimply gorgeous. I'd be stalking them too!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I stalk ALL my flowers (and sometimes even plants who only have foliage)
DeleteBeautiful post.
ReplyDeleteRegards and best wishes

Thank you for making time to visit :)
DeleteI had the right bottom orchid for a while. With the next ones I had not very much luck - I think because the air was too dry in our house. These are beautiful! Thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteOrchids are tropical plants. You might want to sprinkle some water on their leaves and all around them (no chlorine and no fertilizer in the water!)
