I purchased a L. rubesence var 'oscuro' in December of 2010 from Hamlyn Orchids. i was told that the plant only bloomed once per year which was a bit disappointed to hear as the flowers were very dainty. i got the plant mounted on fern bark and it had 5 pseudobulbs with 2 inflorescence.

Gardening in an apartment usually means growing houseplants and perhaps a pot of tomatoes or herb plants on a balcony. Herb plants have many uses, right from garnishing recipes, to curing certain infections and illnesses to adding an aesthetic look to the garden. Many people want to have their own garden, but without a worthy piece of land to start a garden is almost impossible.

Cold and Wet
With cold weather here to stay for the next three months or so, it is time to make sure we protect our prize plants from cold air. One sure way to infect your orchid with fungus is to it to them get wet and then allow them to get cold.

Most phalaenopsis are epiphytes. Epiphytes are plants that live clinging to other plants, mainly trees. Phalaenopsis have thick fleshy roots that attach them selves to the bark. Because of this, they cannot be grown as traditional house plants. They needs fast draining media that allows for good aeration within the roots. There are many different ways of potting a Phalaenopsis.

Let me first say that I am, by no mean, and expert. There are exceptions
Phalaenopsis are the most common orchid. They can be found in upscale flower and gardening shops, as well as in most grocery stores. Contrary to popular belief, with the proper care, Phalaenopsis can be easy to grow and to make bloom.

i was wondering if you could water orchids with tap water? I've heard about people doing it, but i have always watered with bottled spring water. or tap with fertilizer, but can you water with just tap?

Does anyone know of any reliable online stores to buy orchids? Here in Lakewood, there aren't many stores where i can purchase orchids and normally they are just phals.

Fall Chills
With the beautiful fall weather that descends on the northeastern United States this time of year, consider what it can do for your plants. Some orchids love to cool off during the night hours.

A list of the names of the orchids that are in the title
Review:
My Husband thought he was doing me a favour by buying me a book on Cymbidiums and spent about £9 + p&p on a very slim 58 page paper back.
What this book contains is a list of URL's that lead to mostly incomplete Wikipedia entries. I could find out more by Googling the info for a lot less money. They also have a selection of titles on different orchids like Dens, other orchids, plants and other subjects to name but a few by the same publisher
Do avoid this book as in all the info that I have double checked since we got the book at the weekend it does not say anywhere that it is all just links to the Wikki site.
The company seems to be a vanity press style publication called Books Llc They use a plain beige cover with black bold writing nothing fancy and definitely not worth £9, I’m not even sure it is worth the paper it is printed on.
The worst bit is, it is sold on Amazon and ABebooks and at other warehouse style book web sites, it is only printed on demand so it would be very difficult to get your money back.
I will be leaving reviews on Abebooks and Amazon if they will let me
It looks as if all someone has done is gone through Wiki and lifted any written info and pasted that into word and if there is no info the name of the plant and then the URL.
The only disclaimer is in the booklet that says that the entry on the web page could be updated at any time.

 I wrote this article in response to questions about the orchids pictured in my Gallery because I am often unable to respond promptly enough.
