lol, I am so proud, what an achievement (Sad aren't I) xxx

[**forum-decorum**]

All summer I have been watching my nearly dead orchid plant come back to a gorgeous beautiful specimen, just because I changed it's position in the house.

I have never had an orchid loose it's flowers and then reflower, I have always eventually lost them, but this time I feel so proud lol, that I have actually managed to do it.

It is so beautiful, God has made some wonderfully beautiful things for our pleasure.

Does anyone else feel like that when they grow something?

What is your favourite beauty? Please share xxxx

i have one exactly the same as yours forum and it has now reflowered about 5 times.it has no flowers at the moment but a new leaf is growing so fingers crossed i also have another one which is now flowering again after about 18 months with nothing .i could not bear to throw it away and now the flower stalk is about 5 inches tall so maybe 2 weeks and i will have flowers on it

also forgot to add as gods creations go orchids are pretty high on the list of perfection.

I wait with baited breath for mine to flower again, I had it as a present in June,  I do have a new leaf coming so I live in hope, I have never had one reflower.  Beautiful plants.

I have 3 orchids that keep on flowering , i live in hope that one day all 3 will flower at once 😄 

Two have stems growing & one is just flowering for the 3rd time this year

oooo another beautiful orchid.  xxxx

I am definitely going to leave mine where it is and hopefully it will flower over and agains like everyone elses.

I love making these out of sugar too for my cakes.

Mine seem to thrive on a bit of neglect  , dont water regular but i do give them orchid feed every so often when i remember LOL

 I just love these plants ....the flowers go on forever...

When it has finished flowering altogether cut the stalk back to an inch or two and just keep as a leafy plant, watering sparingly.

Eventually it will through up another shoot and it will flower again..but it can take a long time. Whilst I am waiting for this to happen I have a silk artificial stem of the same flowers. It looks very realistic and fools most people...

I have tried so many times without any luck but I have my fingers crossed for this one.

oh forum I wish I could grow any plant,  the orchid is just beautiful, I may try this year as we got gas installed and the old fire was a glass front which killed any plant I had

[millielilac]

I am dreadful...kill everything......but as long as you do not overwater you should be OK.....give one a try ...

It's a beautiful orchid, never grown one myself, but I have recently been given a house plant - a white cyclamen, which has just flowered and has several buds on.  Lovely patterned leaves as well.

[chickengrandma-2008]

This was one I had a few years back and it was never without a flower for three years!!!  I lost it eventually though.

[vamo48]

Oh, that's gorgeous, CG! Will have to try taking a pic of mine and putting it on here.

[chickengrandma-2008]

I used to keep a lot of plants at one time.

[vamo48]

Well, that didn't work!

[vamo48]

And of course, happiness is a full trug

[hightara]

gorgeous CG........ our house is smaller than your conservatory

vamo, beautiful, love love love the trug and plant.

could you green fingered geniuses help me in what plant to buy that is hardy in a living room with very little light, its always dark in there, the light only hits it in the evening, then the boys close the blinds a tad as it shines on the TV.
