emilie and i went to an orchid show in neenah today. wow!! i am in love! brought home 2 new babies...one for home and one for the office. some of the orchids were almost otherworldly and a few were absolutely twilite zone/outer limits looking. i think i have found a new interest......long ago lost interest in house plants, but this orchid thing may be a great replacement. there are countless varieties of orchids with varying degrees of propagation difficulty. i brought home 2 phaelanopsis orchids, which is a good variety for beginners. they only bloom twice a year but the blossoms last 5-6 weeks. their common name is moth orchid. the mottled burgundy photo above is a moth orchid.
