House Orchids 2022
Nik:
Almost there. On a very cold winter day, they are like a spot of sunshine inside the room.
GordonT:
Nik, I envy your cymbidiums. When we first returned to Nova Scotia, we could find them seasonally at a few local sources (supermarket 15 minutes away, and a big box hardware store about two hours drive from home). Neither source carries them anymore, and specialized mail order nurseries rarely have them in stock due to their size. It is nice to see your plants blooming in the dead of winter!
Nik:
Same here, Gordon. All of my cymbidiums were purchased from grocery stores many years ago. I have not seen them anywhere in the recent past. I love that they bloom this time of year. January and February is the peak for our conditions. And they last about 3 months if not cut (about a month and a half when cut) to cheer us up during the coldest time of the winter.
Nik:
Finally fully opened. One more spike with 17 buds about to start opening on this one.
Nik:
My giant green one is also beginning to put on a good show.
