I have always been into landscaping, wether it would be weeding or cutting the two acres of grass for my parents when I was younger. So I was always outside in the country and when my mother got into raising monarch butterflies, we had to go search around cities for their host plant:milkweed. Then we had to buy and plant and not kill lots of flowering plants for the butterflies after they emerged. We were always going to Home Depot or local nurseries looking for plants, and I would always stumble upon the tropical plants and I was always drawn to the bright beautiful flowers of Phalaenopsis Orchids on their benches. I always wanted one, then come time when I was in college and I wanted a plant to keep company with my bamboo plant. I went to Home Depot and bought my first orchid,a phal NOID, which I killed a year later with three or four following its doom. That was all when I lived in Cleveland, OH and I decided to try again here in AL outside in this humid, hot weather. I am determined to bloom these babies!!!!!!
