Started a new hobby recently. Planted some orchid and i have some pictures that i would like to share.

Aren't they lovely??? Just some thoughts on growing them. It is typically 30 to 50 feet (10 to 15 m) tall and develops a short trunk with a low-branching structure and a densely branched, wide-spreading rounded crown. The leaves are large, oval or nearly so, glossy green, leathery an

showy in whorled clusters at the tips of the branches.

It blooms on and off throughout the year, with large, showy, white, tulip-like flower buds that open at night to reveal their long, hair-like filaments, which are white with pink tips and collectively resemble a powder-puff when extended.

The flowers are followed by four-sided, woody fruit about the size of a juvenile coconut. Green when young they mature to a dull grey-brown and like a coconut, will float and drift on the ocean until they land on new shores.
