    It's grey and white outside, but we've got some indoors colour. Take a look at our orchids:

    The Dendrobium nobile:

    The Phalaenopsis:

    And one of the girls' Saintpaulia is putting on quite a show too:

    The rest of our orchids are busy putting forth new shots, so I'm hoping for December colour as well.

    Thanks for liking them. I'm rather fond of them myself, truth be told. :D Even though I do ignore them for weeks on end.

    My new Phalaenopsis is still intact, Droopy and I talk to it everyday. Is that giving it too much attention? I so wish to be able to grow like you do.

    Thank you all for your kind words. I talk to them too, GG. "Can you see that trash bin? Now, grow!" :D I really don't know why they like us so much, because they don't get a lot of attention. Maybe that's the secret of the success.

    What a lovely group of pics from your collection. I was wondering if you would take some fotos. I remember last year you showed some stunning fotos as well.
    You sure do work your magic on those orchids, passively or actively. What a success!
