My Orchid started to flower.
We have been busy over the last couple of days planting out our veggies.. And all those flowers seed trays you saw, are now nice little plants, I think I must have planted around 60 or more plants this afternoon, the other half will hopefully be in tomorrow..
I loved logging back here on Dreamwalker’s this evening to see so many comments waiting to be answered.. I appreciate and love all of your visits, and thank all of you who take the time to leave me your Drum Beats.. And hope you will have patience with me if I have not yet visited your blog to those who have taken the time to comment..
Here its a Bank Holiday Long weekend… And I am so tired, I have run out of steam 🙂 I have not even turned on the Computer the last couple of days.. So I am chilling out over the next couple of days..
Above is a Orchid that lay dormant for a year after flowering.. I thought it wouldn’t flower again..
This one is for you Maria.. I said I would get around to posting eventually!
Orchid 1 flower
Patience paid off.. I allowed it to feel neglected for a while then watered it and moved to a warmer sunnier position where it started to bloom..
Amazing when we give something our love and attention how it responds.. 🙂
Orchid 2 flowers
Have a Wonderful Peaceful weekend all of you.. See you next week after I have caught my breath and rested a little..
I will leave you with the Link to a Poem I wrote Last year..
Be good to each other..
See you Soon..

Thanks for dedicating this to me Sue! 😳 These Phalaenopsis Orchids look beautiful! And the leaves! I had better luck with the Dendrobiums and I keep them outside of the condo where I live downstairs. Those take full direct sun in the afternoon, without burning. Yours need bright diffused light. Maybe with this bloom this year it will start acting like an annual, since you told me it skipped a year. I see it has around 2 or 3 flower spikes. Thanks so much Sue, this has been very kind from you. Take care.

Welcome back Sue. I was so happy that you took a break and you were fully with nature and spending quality time with family members, doing so with having the burden that I have to get back to my virtual family members.
Yes, it is important to take such decision and take life with ease and just be yourself, life is not always about work, routine and responsibility. We can take that little liberty in life and do what we want to do and do it at our own pace without any constraints and self imposed restrictions.

Hi Raj.. I am so pleased my Orchid success story has motivated you not to give up :-).. I was watering mine quite regular.. So it was suggested that I allowed to dry out for a while.. About 4 weeks maybe longer,, just until the roots looked dryer but not wizened. I then put on a sunny window sill.. Not in direct Sun, so as to burn or scorch the leaves.. And I then started to water again.. allowing the water to run through the bark over the kitchen sink.. do not allow the roots to sit in water.. And then I waited.. 🙂 and kept watering every two weeks.. Patience is the name of the game with them… But truly lovely to see them bloom again..
I had a lovely Sunday, Monday, Tues, Wednesday 🙂 Longer than I intended… Wishing you luck with your Orchids Raj.. 🙂 And hope to catch up with your post very soon as I take off my gardening gloves and get back into WP mode 🙂 😀

Hi dear Sue,
Your post gives me another reminder to have patience with my own orchids here! I, too, was feeling unable to log on for many days, and there’s been so much activity in and around my neighborhood, and exploring with my honey – which turned out to be a bit of a journey within and without, discovering a labyrinth. I felt as though we were in the British Isles again. I am delighted to come here, to your blog, and rest for another moment before switching gears. To experience the patience within all that is developing and may or may not develop. It was so nice to read your poem again, appreciating the ‘sound’ and the lyrical nature of your words as they flow… Seeing those orchid blooms goes so well with the message of patience 🙂

As we tap into our inner beings and seek out the patience within, and many it seems are now starting to follow their own inner promptings which always manage to make me smile ever wider as I see how we are all as ONE. and yet we still do not see it.. For we are all of us wanting that space to BE.. seeking silence, solitude at similar times.. as we each allow ourselves to go within the ‘Flow’ of Energy… I am so pleased my Orchids was another reminder.. We each remind each other with our posts.. Thats why I so love my WP community.. seems so many of us are tuning in.. or out! at just the right time.. 🙂 LOL… Enjoy your together time..

What I did was allow the orchid to dry out a little neglecting it tricking it.. ( as I was watering the green leaves I had regular ) so after about a month of neglect.. I transferred to a warmer sunnier position but not in direct sun as to scorch the leaves.. I then started to water again.. I do this by pouring several jugs through the bark in the pot over the sink until the roots got plumper and not so dried out looking.. I sprayed the roots also with some orchid spray feed.. And talked to it..l LOL.. encouraging it to flower.. It didn’t happen over night and after some TLC.. Tender Loving Care.. it started to produce a new shoot which over time produced the two flowers… I live in hope that the original stems will produce some flowers.. I hope so 🙂 xx Hope that explains a little of how I did it.. The real star is the orchid it did all the hard work.. 🙂 ❤ xxx

Beautiful orchid Sue. My husband agrees with you about watering and talking to your Orchid but he also says that the roots need sunshine and air, so repotting with orchid growing medium in either an air pot or a clear plastic pot will do the trick as Orchids are epithetic (air plants). He has saved many Orchids as sadly people often put them in the bin! I hope you’re having a lovely evening. 🙂
