Snowing in the North - Flowers Blooming in the South

As another winter snow storm hits the north, flowers are blooming here in the southern Florida. Lovely warm days with lots of sunshine comprise the right recipe for many flowers, including the Ground Orchid.


This plant is great. I bought one two years ago in a gallon container and planted it. The conditions must be right, or maybe just my green thumb, but it has really produced. It is very tolerant and can easily be divided into new plants. Today, I have six plants, and the best part is that they bloom for about nine months out of the year. Here are some pictures of this lovely plant.

      Spring is here in Florida, especially with so many flowers in bloom. I planted many new ones today. It really does feel like spring. My best friend lives in Canada on Rainy Lake and just loves it.Have to love where you live.

      Well, these are nice but ground orchids to me are easy. Your are true orchids that are harder to grow and they are gorgeous. Thanks for the lovely comment about mine orchids.
      Have a great weekend,
