Christmas orchid
When I moved to Campbell River, three years ago, I bought a baby orchid; three stalks, a handful of leaves, a few inches tall. Now it's a foot and a half tall (45 cm.), has air roots and leaves sticking out in all directions. I've repotted it once.
And now, it has bloomed. In time for Christmas!

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!

Orchids are so unlike most other potted plants that I have that my normal watering routines cause mine to shrivel up and die a long prolonged death, as the roots suffocate in the decorative peat moss that most tend to be bundled in. It was only after repotting in bark mulch that they're finally growing new leaves. Still waiting for mine to send out a flowering stalk, hopefully will be this year!
