So pretty! I have one that bloomed for several months, now I am hoping that I can keep it alive and get it to bloom again!!
I just can't keep them alive for some reason. This one is long since gone!
I learned that I was watering them wrong. This one is in a plastic pot with drainage slits in the bottom and sides, and is potted in bark. Once a week I set the entire pot in a pan of room temperature water for about a half hour, then take it out and let it drain completely before I put it back in the decorative outer pot.. If the roots look green it has plenty of water...if they turn silver it's time to water. Never leave them potted in moss I'd they come that way from the store. But I'm still learning and keeping my fingers crossed!
Thanks for that tip! :-) It's usually about water, isn't it?

Stands out against the black so beautifully
Thanks! Black velvet makes a great backdrop!
You’re welcome
I have some in a box up in the attic but have never used it
I used it quite a bit for stock images - a change from white backgrounds.
WOW. Use extraordinary macro shooting and excellent lighting!
congratulations my dear friend.
I love it!
