Not a Shrinking Violet
Orchids in bloom, live in my kitchen where they can be admired. Orchids out of bloom are moved to the loft, where most go to die. If they survive and bloom again, then they can come back to the kitchen. The orchid in the photo had been in my kitchen for a few months. A couple of weeks ago, the last flower fell off and it was moved upstairs. Today, I found three new flower stocks, so it's orchid moving day again. Some plants will do anything for attention.

Lovely!
It's not as nice as your orchids. I'm trying so hard not to be jealous of you. :)
Yes, but look at your surroundings, it looks glorious outside, hills & mountains. Your orchid looks really healthy, trust me i have some keel over in the heat :(
OK now I'm jealous, Michelle lives in Australia, how did you get to see her orchids? I want to see her orchids! I guess we should'nt feel bad if her's are nicer than ours because she lives at the beach so she has more humidity, and we are destined to walk around with our spray bottles all day trying to trick our orchids into thinking that they live at the beach. Wait, I want to live at the beach! Now I really am jealous! Hey Melissa I think I have an idea for our next vacation:)
I guess I shouldn't complain because I just got a 3rd bloom on one of my epidendroms and I have a lot of new growth on the chocolate scented oncidiums and one of the onci's in the bathroom is so happy is has 34 beautiful flowers all open right now!
Sarah, just click Michelle's name and you can visit her blog. You won't believe how pretty it is where Michelle lives. Forget visiting, I want to move there. :)
I took a quick peek and she seems like a realy nice, fun, person with quite varied interests. Her celebrity crushes are pretty good too except I don't know who Matthew Fox is, and I would add Marg Helgenberger and Mariska Hargitay because I am a CSI fan. I was afriad to look at the site to closely because just checking your site every day makes me late for work on a pretty regular basis now, and my evenings are devoted to the dogs, CSI and of course obsessive cleaning, rearranging and organizing things. There are only so many hours in the day! Maybe we could go visit her before we move there. I think we we should really kiss up too, because I think you need a resident sponsor to move there.
Not a bad idea to visit. Do you know that Michelle lives across the street from a breathtaking beach? Only movie stars can do that here and our beaches aren't as pretty.
We could cash out our overpriced real estate and retire! Yipee!
