I got this orchid several months ago and it survived through the summer heat. But I wish the flower was red.

I think this particular cultivar must be grown en mass for the retail trade. It looks very similar to a previous post.

It was $20 at Trader Joe’s grocery store. Used to be $16, but we now have a fascist government.

I got this thinking it’s going to have white flowers, but it doesn’t look like it.

Finally I have a blue Vanda flowering for me. I grow this outdoors all year round.

Phalaenopsis definitely require cooler nights to set flowers. Normally that happens in the fall and winter but it must have been cool for them when I put them out in the spring.

Wow congratulations.
That looks fantastic. 🌱📷

I also grew this outdoors this summer and it has 2 new spikes & 1 from an old spike. Its ID might be Fuller’s Black Leopard.

I took out all my orchids this summer. They seemed very happy with the air and brighter light.

If it gets lower than 60F, Phals should be brought indoors, but I’ve pushed them down to 55F. It’s probably not too good if kept out for too many nights.

I got this 9 weeks ago in flower and it’s flowering again. There’s also another spike.

This new dragon fruit plant (Hylocereus guatemalensis 'American Beauty') decided to flower. I am wondering if my other no ID plant is the same cultivar as this since the flowers look so similar.

I was able to flower this orchid even though we had some hot days during this summer. It was shaded with daily misting.

I was surprised to find Cymbidium flowers in a florist shop. I suspect they were imported from the southern hemisphere.
