My friend Marge took this picture of me at the Chinese Garden in Portland, Oregon while I was uber pregnant with Ella. The Garden of Awakening Orchids was certainly one of Portland's many jewels. Marge brought over an orchid when we came home from the hospital. It bloomed for six weeks but it hasn't bloomed since. It is still in our dining room, the only plant to travel east with us.

I get my orchids to bloom like this: sunny (indirect) location, fertilizer, water. After it blooms, I move it to a less-sunny location and let it dry out a little more between waterings, give it a few-months rest. Then move it back to the sun, and start the process over again. I'm pretty impressed, it works fairly well for getting my only orchid to bloom.
