Orchid

My mother loved flowers and one of her favorites are orchids. She had white orchids and dancing lady before and that was it. Buying orchids in the Philippines is pretty expensive so she just admire orchids from her friends. These orchids she called violet tiger orchid I don't know the real name of this but I saw these at Frederick Meijers at Grand Rapids. It's very pretty and like my mom I like to plant them but I don't have a space for them to put and take care. Because as I know of orchids has to be taken cared of really well. What you think?

They are gorgeous! I love flowers but don't have the time or interest to grow them, so the next best thing is to photograph them! :)

Gorgeous orchid. I bought one last year that looked like this one here. It was very beautiful than but it never rebloomed again with all pampering.
I think its name is Beallara or Cambria orchids.

I think you can keep orchids indoors, just put them in a place where they can have sun. They are easy to take care of - they'd love charcoal. When I was in the Philippines, I grew orchids and they thrived just on driftwoods under the very bright sun. :-)

Your orchids are pretty and remind me of home and one of my favorite flowers of all time. :-)
