This is one of 4 orchids that live on my kitchen table right beside
a sunny picture window.

Lovely photographs @violetmed of the beautiful orchid.

The colour turned out so well for you......this is a difficult colour to photograph.

All the best.

Cheers.

Woow.. What a color :) Pink Orchid is my favourite :)
You are calling spring like this? :)

Questions, questions! about this hot pink delight! HOW did you get it to flower? How/when (not) to water. Where do you keep her after she's all flowered out? (How long will she flower?) Is this an OLD orchid. I was amazed at how my grandmother always got her amaryllises to flower each year anew, and she had quite a schedule for them including stays up in the attic. I wish I had learned more about her methods. Do teach me about keeping orchids if you can, instead!

Well @sukhasanasister, I'm not an expert on orchids. The orchid above is only 1 year old. I bought it when it had flowers on it. These are the first blooms after the ones from a year ago! What I have done to get them to rebloom is to always keep them on my kitchen table by my large windows. They get lots of sunshine or light year round. I feed them with liquid orchid food that is mixed into spring water or filtered water. You actually water them with this special liquid orchid food every other month. Then I try to water them once a week with plain spring water or filtered water. When I see that they have new fuds forming I try to feed them every 2 weeks with the liquid orchid food. I have a yellow orchid (3 years old now) that didn't bloom last spring and now I am hoping it will bloom this year. I read they have to be repotted eventually also! This is what the whole plant looks like. It is a very healthy orchid. Good Luck!

She is so elegant. See how she rises up to distance herself from her (otherwise splendid) leaf? High and mighty, too.

A magnificent flower. In our country it is considered the most expensive. You have wonderful flowers @violetmed

Thank you, I love when I can get one of my orchids to rebloom!

fantastic color

Some very vibrant color on that beauty, Violet. Good show, as they say.

the orchids are the most beautiful of the flowers for me, I'm waiting for them to bloom mine to post them, when they do I'll tag you if it does not bother you, it's for you to advise me.

Yes, @andresmirabal please tag me! I would love to see your orchids!

Great news for you @violetmed. My mom got real excited when her orchid bloomed too. I can feel your joy through this picture and the beauty of nature. This will be a fruitful year.

Aren’t orchids spectacular? Just beautiful photograph and color. You captured every detail. 🐓🐓

Thank you so much!
