Speaking of fucking orchids...

Beat the hell out of those orchids.

They deserve it. Stubborn bastards.

I have two, in separate pots.
One year ago, they both had beautiful blossoms.

Then my DR table collapsed and I had to move them and the yellow one went on strike. The blossoms fell off and it hasn't bloomed since October. The leaves were still healthy so I kept watering it. In the past 6 weeks or so it's grown a new stalk. As soon as it decided to grow a new stalk, it psychically told the pink one to be an asshole so the pink one dropped all it's blossoms, the stalk died and now it's dormant.

WTF?

I want them both to give me beautiful flo



I know nothing about flowers, but the elephant in your siggy cracks me up. That is all

I killed the one DH bought me for Mother's Day. Apparently I wasn't the only one watering it.

It's really really hard to get them to bloom again. I've heard rumors of people being able to accomplish this marvelous feat, but I'm not one of them **stifled sob**

Have you tried orchid food? I haven't tried it, but have heard that they will not reflower without food. Worth a shot.

Hmmmmm....I may have to try this orchid food of which you speak. I don't think I've seen it on the shelf at the nursery though. Hmm...

My mom has at least 15 in her dining room on the window sills. They are always so pretty. She called mine a lost cause. :-(
