Then I killed it. I either under watered it or over watered it. I'm not sure which was the actual killer.
So I bought another one because they were on sale and promptly killed it by trying to re-pot it.
This year my husband bought me a new orchid. This one is prettier because it has character. I love the spots! (last year's was pretty too, but it was solid purple)
Our good friend, Sami, keeps orchids and I have asked her how to properly care for it this time. Here's hoping it will keep blooming for 3 months and also bloom again!

Beautiful orchid!! I've always found less waterng is the better way to error.

Great photo friday
I'm always killing plants. I have none in our home at this moment because of the many fatalities.
Thanks for letting me know about your parents. I'll have to see if I can interview them about Cancun. God Bless.
Boo Boo
It's a beautiful flower! Good luck!
Very beautiful, I love the spots too. I always manage to kill plants, hope you have better luck this time!
Orchids are such sensitive plants. I don't even bother to try with them any more. Good luck! They are beautiful. They require a fairly warm temp to be happy and aren't too pleased that we keep our house at 60 during the winter.
It's very beautiful and you are right, full of character. I have never been able to keep one alive very long. I love their scent.
The spots make it extra-beautiful! My mom has so many orchid plants. She's had them for years and blooming season after season. She gave one for me to care and what happened? Dead in a few days.
Goodluck with your orchid!
