Orchid

My phalenopsis made a lovely display of blooms this spring. There were two stems of flowers, and they lasted for about a month. The plant is still going strong, and them stem didn't die back after flowering! There is a small chance I will be able to use keiki paste with any results.

Cactus Dish

I re-did my cactus dish.  The living stones have been holding up quite well, which is a relief because Lowes is not carrying them this year.  The trick is not to over-water. Which my current schedule that is fantastic news!!
