There is a huge range of orchids in this extensive family. Every plant has its needs – right plant in the right place. For most of us, orchids are house plants though in warm climates they of course can be grown outside. For growing information, see Blooming Orchids.
These photos were taken several years ago and were in my archives.
My orchid-growing friend lives further south here in Florida. She claims she just puts them on the lanai (screened back porch), in the trees, or in her house and doesn’t do much. I have killed every orchid I have ever had which is why there is a lovely faux orchid in my living room. Let’s enjoy her amazing flowers.

…beautiful. I remember my mother having one for a corsage at Easter.
I have never been brave enough to have orchids. They seem such a tough flower to grow and care for. They really are beautiful. x
Orchids are so beautiful but they are so difficult to grow. I just watch them myself.

Beautiful orchids. I love orchids but I am hopeless with orchids. I have some orchid plants given by friends but most of them died or look half dead.
Nature is amazing. Love the purple. Pinned and tweeted. Thanks for sharing at #aclwcc.
Your friend has got the knack of growing beautiful orchids.
Wow orchids are stunning x #mysundayphoto
Orchids are so lovely!!
What a gorgeous orchid. I think orchids are lovely but they take such special care that I’ve never tried to have one in my house.
Wonderful and beautiful, mother nature is the best artist!
They look gorgeous full of bloom

The colour is stunning. I can’t imagine being able to grow anything that big and bright.
Orchids are my favourite and one of the only plants I can maintain at home. #mysundayphoto
