One of the most beautiful of all the houseplants is the orchid. These darlings of the woods are sure to catch anyone’s eye that enters your home. When you mention orchids, people seem to freeze up in fear. They think that some thing so beautifu
l must be difficult to grow. The reality is that there are varieties that are easier than others. If you want to start an orchid collection now is a perfect time.
You can find these plants in many places but higher-end greenhouses and nurseries often get better specimens. Although they all may look great at first, some of the orchids you get from stores not specializing in plants can actually loose their blossoms after a few days. It's often worth paying a bit more at some of the smaller boutique shops. I once had an orchid that bloomed for 10 weeks!
Here is a great link I found that lists the different types of orchids and their care. Please check it out and decide what orchid is best for you!
