Let me first say, that on Christmas 2009, My dear friend Sue, bought me an Orchid. I thought she was nutso because me and house plants just don't jive. Here we are 2 seasons later and I have successfully had my Orchid re-bloom! Woo Hoo! The blooms last for months so I just love it! It is very happy on my dining room table.
Well, remember the guy I chased this morning? He had blue Orchids on that cart. Yes I said blue! DH saw the sparkle in my eye and insisted I have one. I am so excited, and my goodness, it is full of buds and sooooooo tall!
Here is a close up of the blooms. They are so blue that I know that it can not be natural, and I am sure that when this plant blooms again, blue may not be seen. Look at the months of gorgeous flowers I will have until then!!!

Well, didn't know you were the orchid lady -- I have never had one to rebloom! Good luck with the blue one!
That is a gorgeous orchid.
This is beautiful, I have never seen blue orchids, hmmm...do I see a card inspiration from you :) TFS.
What a fabulous flower!!! I can just visualize how perfectly those blooms match those gorgeous blue dishes in your dining room too! Enjoy :)
How much fun is that!!! What a great day with DH :) Beautiful flowers, Mary Anne!
Don't you just love those days doing simple things together and now you've found a jewel in your lovely day. Hope it has been wonderful and I love both of your orchids.TFS
Sometimes a chore turns into something memorable........looks like you had one of those days!!! Fabulous orchid I've tried them but can never get them to re-bloom!
Mary Anne,
Yes I've seen the blue ones, I had to pull Bob away! I have to say they are just electric, so vibrant almost neon in effect. I don't have much luck with house plants either so I would not even try. Great find my friend :)
I would be chasing him too ... for plants that is (LOL) ,,, I kill all indoor plants.. need some tips, as your orchids are so pretty.
hats off to you and green thumb - i dont even try anymore...this is a beauty!
miss being here and am trying to visit a few blogs this morning before off to work - raining too hard and accidents everywhere on the roads!
love your veggie garden - beautiful lettuce!
