Orchid

A friend gave me this orchid several years ago and it has never failed to flower each spring since. It must be a tough one since it gets no special care but still puts on a good show! I have no idea what variety it is - any ideas out there?

  8. An orchid! I don't know how you keep it alive. In Florida they are cheap, so I buy one in the winter and toss it out when I go north.

  9. You must be a natural "green thumb." I'd guess it is fun to look forward to such a nice floral delight every spring!

  14. Beautiful orchid, I'm sure you're good with plants, I didn't know they could stand the Canadian winter.

    I've never seen this variety around here, my father used to cultivate orchids when we lived in house with a big yard. :)
