I have been growing orchids for 15+ years now. In 2008, I took my first lesson in Sogetsu Ikebana. For me, growing orchids and creating Ikebana arrangements are my meditation. I created this blog to share my pictures and ideas with you. It is like my JOURNAL and helps me keep track of my progress.

July and August's blooming orchids
Oncidiums (Sherry Baby) and Encyclia (Green Hornet).
The Sherry Baby Oncidium smells like chocolate. Its fragrance fills the entire room, so good! You should get this orchid. It is very easy to grow.
Hybrid Paphiopedilum "Doctor Calson"
It has been blooming for more then two months already, I think it's going to fade soon.
Dtps. Brother Strawberry (Purple Gem x King Shing's Rose)
Encyclia Green Hornet (cochleatum x Lancifolium)
This one is easy to grow too, it lasts for a very long time. The flowers are unique, but it has an unpleasant perfume in the morning.

This time of year has the least number of blooming orchids in my orchids collection. I have the least amount of work for me too. Because most of them are outside under a big tree taking a vacation, I let mother nature take care of them for me.
