My slow descent into becoming an orchid keeper

[flamebyrd]

As a housewarming gift, my aunt-in-law gave us a potted orchid, with vague instructions not to over-water it. After I had my surgery earlier in the year, my godmother gave me another orchid. I've been dutifully attempting to keep them alive and healthy, and telling my mother about my results, since she's a keen gardener.

The end result of this is that she told my aunt that I really liked orchids, so I received two more orchids for Christmas.

Orchid count: 4.

None of them had labels, but they are all very pretty and I'm looking forward to bumbling my way into orchid parent success! 🤞

Orchids are *gorgeous*

They are so pretty! Apparently the guy who sold my aunt the orchids said one of them is "unique" (which I guess just means they haven't bred the specific colouration reliably yet).

That's a bit exciting!
