Met Monday hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. Be sure to visit Susan and other beautiful met monday posts. My Met Monday is an orchid plant I have that never fails to bloom. I don't know exactly what I do right with this one since I have others that only bloom once and never bloom again but the leaves are great. So here is the plant with the blooms waiting to openHere is the blooms opening. I have these plants in a sunroom off the family room but since we don't use this room much, I decided the plant needed to be moved so we can view the beautiful blooms.I moved the plant to my living room for the spring and Easter season. It had a prominent place on my fireplace hearth.
It looks nice here and we can enjoy the flowers.
Here are the blooms up close and personal. Aren't they beautiful. I did something right with this plant, I just wish I knew what it was.
Have a great Met Monday, oh and did you happen to see my post on Traditional vs Contemporary, take a look around, let me know what you think and don't forget to visit Between Naps on the Porch. This is a great way to see other great decorating ideas.

How very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew what you did too. I have tried several times and I just can't get them to live. This is just gorgeous, what a beautiful orchid. Love it. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteBeautiful orchid!! It looks so happy & healthy. You're definitely doing something right!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have quite a few orchids, mostly phalaenopsis (or however you spell it!!) Those ones bloom pretty regularly, and the blooms last a long time. I have one species that's only bloomed once (dendrobium, I think), and a few others that have never bloomed. After 4-5 years of waiting for them, I've pretty much given up!!
Thanks for sharing your pictures :-)

Beautiful! I'd have killed it along time ago. Kudos to you for keeping this alive & looking so great.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog so I could meet you! It looks like we have a lot in common with our love for decorating. I scrolled on down and saw your beautiful kitchen centerpiece you arranged. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteOkay, now that we are friends, will you PLEASE tell me how to keep an orchid alive? I have no luck!
Nice meeting you and I do hope you'll come see me again! :)
