They are wild orchids... I'm glad I can grow these. I'm going to give the others a try, too. :-)Meemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-28072505804197500482010-06-23T13:50:59.404-04:002010-06-23T13:50:59.404-04:00I love this adorable little orchid.

I would love to find some for sale one day. Of course, my lone oak tree is so horribly choked by pothos, I would not be able to grow it there. Maybe a magnolia would do.Floridagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16357453320897720393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-75711231739413111292010-06-21T22:56:16.352-04:002010-06-21T22:56:16.352-04:00That little gem is ever so gorgeous.
