It’s time to share more of my friend’s beautiful orchids which are now blooming. I’ve shared her lovely flowers in the past. See that post for information on growing tropical orchids. Not that I am any good at it. I’ve killed every orchid I’ve gotten, but my friend just has beautiful blooms. Some of them are in the house.
My friend lives further south here in Florida. Most of her orchids are outside. She has some on the screened lanai, some hang from trees, and others hang in baskets under the eaves.
Each type of orchid has specific light and water requirements. I’ve been told by master gardeners that I probably watered my orchids too much. Most don’t like that.
So many beautiful blooms.

Such beautiful orchids.
I do not have a green thumb when it comes to house plants. Sad when a person can’t keep a faux succulent alive.
That’s just how bad I am with house plants. Now, when it comes to out door plants, no problem there.
Have an enjoyable week end.
Beautiful! Wonderful!
I have never tried to grow orchids. They are expensive here, and I am afraid they would just die right away.
Have a blessed day!
Happy Sunday Lea!
A lovely series of blooms… I don’t know anyone who does not like orchids!
Have a nice week ahead.
Have a wonderful week!
…they are beautiful.
What lovely, exquisite color! Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos!
Carol – your friend certainly has a green thumb! Orchids are amazing plants – and so many varieties I never get tired of looking at them! Thanks for adding their unique beauty to Mosaic Monday this week!
Hello, the orchids are beautiful. Lovely variety of colors! Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week.
These orchids are beautiful Especilly I loved the first, in cream color. Happy MM.
Your friend’s orchids are gorgeous. I might have better luck with orchids if they could grow outside on their own. It has been a couple of years since the last of Mama’s orchids hit the dust. Maybe it’s time to try again.
Good luck – I don’t try orchids anymore. I killed too many. I enjoy other peoples though.
This is the one plant I have no luck keeping live. your friend’s is back on. TFS
me too – I gave up on orchids
They are beautiful! I heard they were quite hard to grow….#OurWorldTuesday
They are just gorgeous! I love looking at them up close and seeing the details! Enjoy your day! The weather is perfect here today!
thanks – I am so happy the sun came back yesterday. I was tired of the cloudy grays. Have a great day!
Orchids are beautiful but I’ve never been good about keeping them alive. – Margy
They are all beautiful love the colours have a bloomingtastic week 🙂
They are the most beautiful flowers but I can’t grow them.
Orchids are so graceful. These are just lovely.
She has a wonderful green thumb! There are a couple ladies in our Florida resort who grow them in their trees like you talk about. I’ve taken lots of pictures. (Will be there soon, so I can check on them in person)!
Gorgeous photos! Like you, I’m an orchid murderer. Even when we lived in Florida, I couldn’t keep them alive. So sad.
Love these beautiful photos but no way could I grow them!
Orchid Murderer in Kentucky
I think most of us are orchid murderers!
Just stunning, I’ve killed every flower I’ve tried to grow and I think the last victims were over watered.
They are so pretty!
My late aunt used to grow the most beautiful orchids. She had an amazing green thumb. Sadly, the orchids died with her – all of us are orchid murderers!
Happy Tuesday, Carol!
Thank you for sharing these beautiful orchid photos with us, Carol. I, like you, usually kill all the orchids friends have given me over the years. I have one remaining, but it has never flowered again. Maybe I will cut back on the amount of water I give it.
I think we have a legion of never do well orchid growers in my readers.
Carol,
Orchids wouldn’t do well under my care. I do not have a green thumb. These are brilliant and bold great for chasing away the late fall blahs! 🙂
I think most of us can’t grow them but they are fun to look at!
I wonder if I could grow them here in south Texas. I think I should try. They are beautiful.
Do research on orchids that can grow in your growing zone if you want them outside. If you are doing a houseplant, learn about the needs of various kinds and choose one you can meet its light requirement. Most need filtered light – think by a window with sheers. Most don’t handle direct light or shade. Again totally depends on type of orchid. Water as required for variety and fertilize when you water. This is the info I found when I did research. I think I didn’t meet light requirements and I overwatered. Hence my orchids always bite the dust!
How beautiful. I saw a lot of outside orchids when I visited Palm Beach County earlier this year. I’ve never tried bringing my orchids outside during the summer. The winter? Nope, not in upstate New York.
You made me laugh!
I love orchids! You always have such nice photos to share on Instagram. Thanks for linking on Amanda’s Books and More and for including a link on your Link Parties page.
You’re welcome – thanks for the visit!
We have quite a few orchids. They’re not as challenging to care for as one might think, and they have a wonderfully long blooming season.
Thanks for linking up at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2019/11/urp.html
I must say you have a gift. I tend to make orchids die as much as I love them. But I do love seeing my friend’s beautiful flowers. Like you, she says it’s easy.
