Those are gorgeous. I especially love that tiger orchid thing in the middle with the fancy purple skirt.
The tiger orchid thing is a zygopetalum, a pretty rare orchid, it has a strong perfume, hence I only brought one bloom inside. There are three big spikes of flowers on the plant outside and the whole balcony area is redolent with orchid .
That sounds so lovely. Orchid growing sounds so complicated to me so I love admiring others instead. You've inspired me to freshen up the room with a bit of fragrance myself
it's easy, I just follow instructions. I use orchid potting mix, put the plant in morning sun, water every few days in summer, never in winter, gives lots and lots of plant food
