I still say that orchids are easy-peazy but I’m also very proud of myself lately because I have several orchids blooming at once—ones that have never bloomed before.
Here is the latest. I wish I knew what it was but, alas, it is one of my garage sale purchases and it came without a label. It is also extremely fragrant in a deep, earthy, musky, feminine sort of way.
The most important factor in growing orchids in your house is a good window with appropriate light.
How fun! Now that I'm home all day I'm thinking I might try my hand at growing some fun inside plants. Will these survive if the house is only heated to 55 degrees at night?

Wow, good for you! I never had much luck with orchids. Perhaps I need to try again.

It's a Zygopetalum. I have a few of them also. Very nice.

Hi Kalyn,
Yes, most orchids will be fine in overnight temps of 55. Some of the more unusual ones wont like it but you don't want to start out with those anyway.
Hi Katie,
try again. Orchids are easy. If you have a window with Eastern exposure you can do it.
Jackie,
Thank you for the heads up. I love the fragrance, don't you?
