When those gray days of winter are here I sure miss the spring and summer flowers. So what better way to beat the winter time blues than with a little indoor gardening? Orchids have been my "calling" and through most of the winter I have a couple of orchid plants blooming. Of course an orchid is about the only flowering house plant I can have because my "dear" cat will eat everything else.  I thought I would share a couple of pictures of my favorites.

Now most people think orchids are difficult which they really are not. It's just that there are so many different varieties that all require different care.  Yes, there are "tricks of the trade" but once you understand them, they are really rather easy.

Now the amusing thing, I get phone calls on how to take care of orchids right along with the phone calls on how to sell and buy Pinehurst real estate.  I really love helping people with their orchids and have been known to adopt a non-blooming orchid and nurse it until it blooms again. Do you live in the Pinehurst area and think you would like to visit an orchid greenhouse? Make sure you stop by Seagrove Orchids.  It's a short 25-30 minutes from Pinehurst. Linda (the owner) always has something blooming and some very interesting varieties that you will not find in the retail stores.
