Mahalo Julie, Larry, and Susan for taking the time to comment. I hope that with the 62nd show wrapped up, you all have time to enjoy your own orchids and perhaps plant more.

It is for people just like you that we do what we do! It’s all about this glorious labor of love! Eight years ago my mom, who is no longer with us, said, “Let’s just get one orchid”. And we both laughed! Look at us now!

If you want to learn how to get all your orchids blooming again ask Susie to teach you the Teabag Trick!

The picture that you doubted was a vanda is actually an “antelope” dendrobium, so-called because its twisted petals look like antelope horns. For a picture of the vanda that was grown in fields like a crop (your mother was right), see this page on our website: http://www.hiloorchidsociety.org/orchid-isle-project.html
