Have a seat and relax

Captured in Seaside, Florida





Hi my friends,



thanks for all your visits to my last post.

You always made my day with you kind comments :))



It's sunny again here in Florida but a cool and steady wind is blowing.

You need to take a warm enough jacket for a walk on the beach.

btw...Finally, Hubby is getting better, thanks God!



I'll see you coming Sunday again with my "Wordless Sunday" photo online?

Have a good time - until then!

See'ya...!

Phalaenopsis Orchid

I LOVE Orchids!

Phalaenopsis

are among the easiest and most rewarding orchids to grow. An American Orchid Society demographic survey showed that Phalaenopsis have become America~s favorite orchid. The plants adapt well to the environment of the home or office. From the time that the first flower bud opens, the sprays will remain in bloom for the next 2 to 3 months.

LIGHTING

Sufficient lighting is a must for successful cultivation. Phalaenopsis prefer either an east or a lightly shaded south facing window. West windows should be used with caution. Depending upon the location of the home, the west window may become very hot during the late spring through early fall. The foliage on your Phalaenopsis may burn.

TEMPERATURE

Phalaenopsis thrive under normal household temperatures. For the best results, provide nighttime temperatures between 60 to 65°F and daytime temperatures between 75 to 85°F.

WATERING

Depending upon the temperature, Phalaenopsis potted in bark should be watered about once or twice a week. During the summer, the plants may need to be watered every 4-5 days. The rule of thumb for watering should be as followed : More heat more water, less heat less water.

Phalaenopsis potted in New Zealand sphagnum moss should be watered less often, about every 7 to 10 days.

Phalaenopsis prefer to be kept on the moist side. This does not mean that they like to be left in standing water,however try to water the plants early in the day so that the foliage will be dry by nightfall. To prevent bacterial and fungal disease use Physan 20 once a month.

Hi my friends,

I'm happy I could bring some sunshine to you with my beach scene post from yesterday. That's what my blog is for, to enjoy YOU with my pictures :))



Today we have a beautiful flower online - the Orchid. This one was the flower in the garden of my neighbor friend down in Key West. From her I've learned a lot about Orchids and I learned to LOVE these flowers and still do it today!

Aren't they beauties?

Roses for You!

People say, the queen of all flowers are the roses. I love roses, they are wonderful, majestic, they smell good - but much more I do love the orchids. I will bring more out of my orchid collection in another post.

Red Hibiscus

My red Hibiscus bush has so many new flowers now. They popped out after the short but havy rainfall we had some days ago. Isn't she a beauty?

Seit dem kurzen, aber heftigen Regenfall vor ein paar Tagen hat mein Hibiskus-Busch, viele neue Blueten hervorgebracht. Ist sie nicht wunderschoen?
