I love your vases, I never have enough smaller ones and these show off your gorgeous orchids nicely.

the two small ones are bud vases . Really, an op shop is the best place to find vases , just look at the glasses, cups and glassware and get what you think will work.

Beautiful Orchids. You have to take the photo in landscape. (Turn the phone sideways)

No worries you helped me yesterday with the anti fungal cream idea. I went out and bought curash powder. Not the one I wanted but so far so good. 👍

Those are gorgeous. I especially love that tiger orchid thing in the middle with the fancy purple skirt.

The tiger orchid thing is a zygopetalum, a pretty rare orchid, it has a strong perfume, hence I only brought one bloom inside. There are three big spikes of flowers on the plant outside and the whole balcony area is redolent with orchid .

That sounds so lovely. Orchid growing sounds so complicated to me so I love admiring others instead. You’ve inspired me to freshen up the room with a bit of fragrance myself

thanks , it’s nice to have flowers in winter :) The blooms are so heavy I got a lead crystal carafe from the op shop to show them in, it’s very bottom heavy and has a narrow neck, works perfect! The others I just snipped one bloom off a long stalk with many blooms. Wanted to keep some flowers for outside too.
