My Newest Orchid

 Blc. Hunabu Victory 'Brenda Havenor

I saved many orchids to my Ebay list and just bid on this cattleya orchid and got it for only $20 with shipping included. Be sure to check out the orchids below and save your favorites for when you decide to start buying new orchids. I have shopped around at local flea markets for bargains and although the prices were quite reasonable the orchids they offered were very dull looking in comparison to what else is out there so I decided I would rather get a younger orchid that would blossom into the type of flower that is very splashy and colorful. I like vibrant colors and multi-colored cattleya orchids myself.

Buying and Growing Orchids

I used to have orchids many years ago but traveled so much I didn't have time to take care of them.
Now that I am home a lot more I finally have some time to do that and I wanted to share my experience with buying and growing orchids. Here you will see listings for places to buy orchids as well.
I used to have about 4 orchids but only have 1 left because the others got little white mealy bugs on them and died. I was not around to stop that from happening. Now I have a room mate that can spray them when I'm away with insecticidal soap and wipe off the leaves if needed.
I also like to grow roses now that I have a new place to plant them on the other side of the pool.
I can see them from the bedroom so planted many rose bushes that I can keep an eye on.
