My dendrobium is blooming.
This is the orchid I won at the first Cars in the Garden show at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens three years ago. The great thing about growing orchids in Florida is that it’s their natural habitat. Hang them up in the back yard and let nature take its course.
I have an Encyclia tampensis (a species native to Florida) that’s blooming for the second time — I’ve had it about fifteen years. It’s hard giving it enough sun — the only other time it bloomed was the summer I was able to put it in the yard in full sun. Don’t know why it decided to bloom this year.
