One of these days I'll get a decent picture that doesn't have to spun! That orchid is in a window alcove by the koi pond-- three screened " windows " there and they work well 'til a big wind! I have looked and looked for my newspaper clipping about that orchid and am unable to find it. Will look later today to see if either has a tag.
THe bougies get lots of water-- I know they should be dry, but they are potted and get hot hot sun. When we lived in Ocalal FL I had a bougie and orchids and creeping fig on a west and east facing wall--odd courtyard-ish configuration. I watered off the well 45 minutes daily.EVERYTHING bloomed like mad. The bougie had to be cut on a regular basis and bloomed profusely, as did the orchids-- in fact the vandas bloomed 4 times a year in that location.I wish I could devote more time to the yard here-- maybe one day I can.
The picture I think now is right side up!
