Pink Triple Treat

An orchid farmer once told me that fragrant catleyas bear flowers once a year only. But I will make an exception with this pink orchid beauty I bought from a local weekend market three years ago. It blooms three times a year when carefully taken care of and its flowers would last for three weeks. Hopefully, it will bear flowers again at the onset of the next rainy season.

All my favorite plants in my townhouse garden !

Purple

Purple colored flowers is the newest addition to my garden collection this summer. The plant  loves sunlight and blooms at lot  in the scorching heat of the Sun.

My Cattleya

My fragrant cattleya blooms once a year, every December. At 10:00 a.m. today, its petals are white with pink notes at the edges.

Four hours later, its color turned to sweet pink and its fragrance is sweeter than this morning.

Pink and White and More

The orchids in my garden this time are more beautiful than ever. With the rainy season about to come to an end, orchids of all hybrids and colors are seen cascading from their hanging pots.

My favorite is this candy colored, pink and white dendrobium hybrid. It has big blooms and lasts for months. Orchids need to be fertilzed regularly to keeep them healthy. I fertilize mine once a week.

I love everything with a shade of pink, like this plant with a contrasting pink and green leaves. Notice the unique bud peeping through the leaves ?

One of the "hearts" in my garden. It has tiny heart shaped leaves cascading from its hanging pot. It loves rain, warm weather and shade.



Hot Pink and Velvet Dendrobium

The newest dendrobium orchid in my garden to bloom this rainy season is crimson, has a velvet like feel and is like a fluttering butterfly.

The best time of the year for orchids to bloom and more to bloom.
