Orchid experts make housecalls



At least in Buffalo they do. Whenever I see this friend, who is also an orchid grower and member of the Niagara Frontier Orchid Society, I always whine a bit about my orchids. I guess he'd had enough when he finally said, "Why don't I come by one morning and look at them?"

Sure! So he did, and I videotaped some of it, using my iPhone. That's why the sound and image quality are not the finest. Also, if you're prone to vertigo, the shaky camera might be annoying as well. However, I've used subheads to help make it all intelligible.

John's visit was very helpful. I feel much more secure about my orchids now.

Your orchids look amazing too! A lovely selection and I love the terracotta pots they're in. Really shows them off well.

Nice plants. I didn't have any idea that you had to water them so often. No wonder the ones I had didn't ever rebloom. They grew just fine but didn't rebloom.

Up close and personal. I think you did a great job with that phone. Can't wait to see those orchid blooms someday soon.

Thank you, I had no idea you could fertilize them that much! Great resource.

Hey - I need him! Very reassuring, though. My orchids (2 of them) tend to suffer from 'floppy leaf syndrome.' I'm hoping I can coax a bloom this year, but I both water and fertilize less than you. We'll see.
