A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2006 Blooming All Summer

This has been blooming all summer. Better than some of my plants outside.

That's a beautiful orchid! I've been thinking about getting one myself, but I don't do well with houseplants, and since they are usually expensive I'm leary of spending the money on something I may end up killing!

I hear ya, alan!!! So, buzylady, what's your secret?!

That's funny. No secret just some luck. I have lost alot of plants. I just keep going.

Dodge,
Question #1 I use the mix in a bag for orchids. It is all bark and charcoal. The moss holds some moisture. Got it at Lowes or WalMart. Since they're the only stores we have here it had to be one of them.
OK Question #2
Yes my name is Diane. I have a terrible memory. I'm always afraid I'm going to forget to send someone something. Did I send you D. Imps? How are they doing? What were you going to send?
