Oh Kids...You're Gonna Love These Orchids

Shopping is taken to a whole new level when management is kind enough to line the mall with flower arrangements such as these.

Orchids in Bloom

I have never had success getting orchids to bloom a second time. I have one orchid which has been in my home for five years and not a bloom.

However, I have a way around this problem. I let the nurseries do the work and enjoy their blooms as they come from the nursery. These colors are fantastic.

Orchids from Rogers Gardens

Today I took a trip to Rogers Gardens. It is a fabulous nursery about 30 minutes from my home. The trip was not disappointing as the sun was warm through the unusually cold (and I mean cold--ice was on the walking paths this morning!) air. As I was finding the al fresco nature of Rogers a bit too chilly, I ventured into the orchid shop. The abundance and variety of orchids was startling.
