my orchids
I own a few dozen orchids, most inherited from my grandma. They're surprisingly easy to care for, and I love them very much.
I'll reorganize this page eventually; it's mainly just pretty photos for now.
cattleya
These grow as a series of vertical bulbs topped with leaves and beautiful ruffled flowers. I've duplicated mine by cutting between the stalks while repotting.
brassavola (?)
I'm not sure if this is a brassavola, brassocattleya, or cattleya. It grows much like the cattleyas and is similarly easy to propagate.
dendrobium
This sympodial orchid generates cute baby plants (with roots!) mid-air; they can be separated and grown on their own.
phalaenopsis
These have a central crown, flat leaves, and an endless variety of flower patterns. I don't know how to propagate monopodial orchids yet.
