Those are gorgeous! I have always been facinated with orchids.... You obviously don't have cats!

No, they are not all blooming right now. And I left most of them back in CA since I didnt have the room to move them with me

Right now I have one putting on a bud stem and it is Phal "golden brother"...a little late this year but glad to see it anyway. I actually don't feed them but twice a year- if that- and they always do fine. Half a cup of water every week, unless its REALLY hot then I might up it a bit but on average only half a cup. Other then that I neglect them and they like that just fine.

Got humidity? I shot these closeups on an outing with my residents for a green thumb club flower fix. Later, Love, Lisa

SC's Image didn't come up for me, but Lisa's did. Gorgeous pics!! I don't know that much about Orchids, but was overwhelmed by their beauty when I visited Orchid World in Barbados recently. Everywhere you turned there was an orchid that was more beautiful than the last!
Are they difficult to grow?
