Orchids For Sally At The South Florida Fair

Orchids are some of the most beautiful and gorgeous flowers in the world. Apparently I do not have a green thumb because one of my daughters gave me some pink orchids for my birthday and they died soon after!

We went to the South Florida Fair in West Palm Beach Florida with our entire county homeschooling association. There were hundreds of homeschoolers for our day at the Fair which I will post about shortly.

I discovered these wonderfully colorful and finite detailed orchids in the plants of Florida exhibition hall. As soon as I looked upon these beautiful flowers all that came to my mind was SALLY! Sally loves orchids and has photos on her blog of the many orchids she has on her lanai.

Beautiful.  I can't wait for my bulb garden to bloom this spring.  I have blossoms in my yard almost all year long.  Love it.

Simply stunning! I am an Iris girl myself, but after viewing these photos, I have a new appreciation for Orchids. Thanks for sharing.

OMG--GORGEOUS!  I love it!  You should share that with a local florist to use on their website--heck, sell it to them!!

Lenn- Nestor plants very pretty flowers in our front, side and back yard. Here we have flowers blooming all year round.Of course, there are flowers that just can not grow down here either.  What kind of bulbs do you have? Katerina

WOW! I love orchids, I had a past client give them to me before they moved. She said they were easy, Yea right, but not for me. Anyway, I gave the 2 plants to my house keeper and she said they are beautiful. Ever tried growing them?

Mine die, die, die, I need to change my beliefs that I kill plants!  I love them but that is a lot of $$$$ down the drain when they die, die, die,...:) Katerina

Katerina...

You're not the only who knows how to kill an orchid you know :)

It seems to be the only flower I can not grow. I kill them every single time :) 

TLW...ROAR!

TLW- Well, at least you can keep the others alive! I can't seem to do that either. My 5 year old is planting pineapples in our back yard now. I told him he better take care of them without my help, ask dad. Katerina

Katerina, orchids are indeed some of the most beautiful flowers to grace this planet.  My parents are members of the American Orchid Society in Delray Beach and I've had the pleasure of seeing their wonderful and extensive collection of flowers there.  You posted some beautiful shots.

Katerina, Sally is one of my favorite bloggers, and I'm sure she loves these orchids as much as I do.  Great photos!
Posted by Patricia Kennedy (Evers & Company Realtors) over 4 years ago
Katerina, I just started to open up my email and found one from American Plant Food, a fabulous house and garden center, offering 20% off all their beautiful orchids!  I think it's a sign I'm supposed to run out and pick one up!

As you know...I love my orchids. A few died during the storm....but I have many of the ones you have shown here. Thanks Katerina....our orchids bloomed already and will wait until spring.

Kathy- We have beautiful flowers that Nestor plants that attract butterflies but I don't get too involved outside of admiring the beauty. However, Orchids die when they are around me. But Sally knows how to take care of them really well. Katerina

Thanks so much for sharing the photos. Orchids are my favorite!  I've tried keeping them at home but it's never worked out.  I just don't have the patience!
