I'm happy-happy-happy and can't believe my luck. I'm jumping up and down here and it's very hard to type but I really had to tell someone. Mother went to visit our garden friend and brought me home a Tibetan orchid, and it's had a bloom this year which means it will have a bloom next year too, or at least I hope so since it's got the size for it. I need to try and breathe a bit, but it's very hard!
That is a beauty. Blooms only once a year? How long with the bloom last? Okay, breathe..... ....breathe.... ................. breathe...............breathe Stop jumping up and down and breathe
Toni, most of our plants outside blooms once a year, and only a few last longer than two-three weeks. Most last for a week. That's why we've got such an enormous amount of different perennials.
I'm feeling your happy vibes!!! Now that is one interesting looking plant How very unusual. I like it :-D and have a lot of questions about it like what kind of conditions does it need? So where are you going to put it? In a special place?
I'm trying very, very hard to be excited for you Droopy but it's soooo hard when I'm turning pea green!! What a real beauty the new addition to your garden family the Tibetan orchid is. Neither wonder you're such a happy bunny.
I'm still over the moon. It's an acid-soil plant that likes well-drained but moist conditions, light to medium soil and sun but part shade. I've got a very special place for it, near the house, so I can keep an eye on it.
That plant is a real looker. Boy, I sure wish I had one of those too. I'm as green as a pea! That big, purple belly that it has is just a stunning thing to see. oh, you lucky, lucky person, you! Congrats. Did your man find it interesting as well? BTW...thanks for posting that title. I've always wondered how one spelled that word.
Droopy your excitement is contagious! That is one of the most unusual looking plants I have ever seen. I need to be educated though. Is this a rare plant? I am so happy for you to have acquired this plant for your garden. Your mother is so good!
Tammy, it's not your everyday nursery plant. They're a bit hard to come by and horribly expensive so that's why I'm so very happy. I've drooled over it for three years, and waited for an opportunity. Yes, my husband is also very happy. I don't know how you spell that word, I just wrote it the way I said it when I got the news from mother. I hope some of our English-speaking Stewbies can submit the word with correct spelling.
