There's yet no sign of flowers in my garden but there is always spring or summer in my living room. I had never been so fond of orchids until one day when I was walking through the garden department of the shopping center and saw the orchids on a sale. They had no flowers, just leaves, and were in real bad condition. I bought one and wondered if it would ever bloom. Soon after plant showed white flowers and ever since it blooms. Almost constantly. Like the other one, with pink flowers which I received as a present for my birthday six years ago. It was magnificent to see both in bloom again just a few days ago. Both have about 20 blossoms.I prefer giving cut flowers for birthdays or bulbs which can be planted outside. My mom had received so many orchids over the years that the whole bunch of them doesn't look nice anymore. It is too crowded on the window shelf and she has no more place to put plants to. Some people love plants, though this doesn't mean that they wish another one for their birthday. I know, this is the easiest way to choose a present for a plant lover but why not rather give her/him seeds instead? Or paper flowers for a change? :)

TAKOLE je pred manj kot enim letom izgledalo spalnično okno. Sledilo je običajno poletno zatišje in jeseni so orhe spet veselo odganjale štrclje in pripravljale popke. Ne vem točno, kaj hudega se jim je zgodilo decembra, a iz dneva v dan so bolj propadale :-O
Pred enim tednom sem jih poslala na rehabilitacijo k moji mami, čeprav dvomim, da bo katera preživela.
Stare so bile 5 - 7 let, vse kupljene s študentskim proračunom za simbolično ceno, kot odpisani primerki. Niti vedela nisem, kakšne barve so :)
Človek postane zasvojen, ane, z odpisanimi primerki? Ko ubožčki čakajo na skrbne roke in je misel na to, da jih bodo vrgli stran, grozna... :)
Upam, da si bodo tvoje lepotice opomogle, sicer se zna zgodit, da kakšno novo dobiš za ROJSTNI DAN! ;)
Pišuka, lep piščanček! :P
Pina, iskreno povedano si orhidej ne želim več :O.
V zlatih časih sem jih imela 15, bile so najbolj nezahtevne rože, niso komplicirale zaradi prepiha (v bistvu so imele rade veter v laseh :)), manj so bile zalite, bolj so vriskale od sreče. Ta nenadni neuspeh mi je vzel voljo. Kakor si sama rekla, se je najtežje sprijazniti s tem, da bodo propadle. Jaz namreč rože pobiram iz smetnjakov, ne mečem vanje.
Jap, moj avatar je super lep :)
Škoda, da ga ne moreš gledat v živo :) A veš, da je tukaj z mano :)
Saj se mi je zdelo, da si orhidej ne želiš več. :) Malo sem se pa mogla pohecat! :P
Pišče je s tabo? No, to je pa zelo lepo, da ti nek kosmatinec dela družbo! :)
Ja, srčkano srčkasto pišče je z mano, varno v mojem naprsnem žepku, vsake toliko ga vzamem ven in preverim, če je še tako lep, če mu je prijetno, če je žejen...
Lepo te pozdravlja, parvi da je u' Mejstu fajn :)
Če ne drugega, imate vsaj boljši zrak! :)
Saj ne, da bi želela imet zadnjo besedo ;)
ampak zrak imamo tukaj res de'lux, sploh ko kmetje zalavfajo "aparature" za razlivanje gmojnice :O
wow they are lovely! and so is your blog. Thanx for stopping by at my place!
The orchids are beautiful. It makes me want to try and grow one.
Oh and wish me luck, I had an interview for a better job today. I think it went well.

You must have quite a green thumb! The two orchids I've had never rebloomed, sadly.
