Name: Cymbidium orchid

1 photo for each flower that bloomed on them. I had a very short season up here in maine, but I’m still happy I got to see them bloom. This is my first year of growing them.

I started this with very little hope as a beginner. It grew into a seedling pretty quickly but then the growth stagnated and they weren't vining around my trellis for a while. I ended up helping them out a little by easing the tops underneath gently and they took off

For those interested in specific varieties, these are: Southern Belle, Picasso, Karma Prospero, Terracotta, Sylvia/Maarn, Isabel, Cornel Bronze, Boom Boom White Dahlias

3rd year bloom from tiny bulbs

I needed colored plants to give more life to my home, and the kalanchoe seemed right to me. I really like the shape of its flowers and the similarity of the leaf with succulents.
