Orchid blog
This blog is dormant at the moment, but it is still getting a lot of visitis so I will keep it up for you guys as a resource. My future adventures will be published on my new blog, hope to see you there!
My focus… if pressed to name favorites it would have to be orchids of the Pleurothallid Alliance. But a Paphiopedilum was the first orchid I ever fell in love with so slipper orchids will always be close to my heart, and while we are on the subject I might as well disclose a love affair with Neofinetia as well.
Dude, don’t get a Dell…
Ok, this is not orchid related, but my laptop died and I just need to vent a little. Well, in some ways it is orchid related since I cannot blog about my orchids the way I want to because of it. I am using dear husband's computer right now, but he has none of my favorite toys installed, like Photoshop or Dreamweaver... so I am limited as to what I can do. You don't realize how dependent you are on [...]
Finally!! A Reverse Osmosis system
This weekend my dear husband finally got to deliver on his birthday promise to me (from May) and install my new R/O system (it's been on backorder a long time). A lot of girls ask for diamonds and shiny things for their birthdays, but I wanted a Reverse Osmosis system for my 35th, lol. Well… it is a AquaLight system from Germany rated up to 285 liter per day - and it is beautiful! It was [...]
Voilà! A new look for the blog
For the past week I have been working on a new look for the blog and it is just about done. I am still tweaking a few things, and I am still searching for a better solution for the "My orchids" page, but it will take som serious time to redo so it will have to wait. This new theme is a lot easier to work with and it looks a lot lighter and airier. The beautiful orchid photo in the [...]
Playing around with the theme…
Don't be alarmed... I just felt like playing around with a new theme for the blog. So if it looks all screwy, go get some coffe and try again later. Thanks! 🙂 76j4ng59b3
Oh crap, I messed up!
Well, I have some good news and some bad news... Good news first. My huge Phragmipedium Grande (caudatum x longifolium) is going to bloom!! It has been growing like crazy for the past two years but has refused to flower - until now. It has a beautiful bud coming and I am sooo proud! Ok, so to the bad news. I am really kicking myself for letting this happen too... On the big shower day a couple of weeks back I must [...]
A Bulbophyllum pulchellum with a bark
Ok. That was a pretty cheesy title, but I could not help myself. Blame it on the heat. Because of course the weather finally turned sunny and warm again after 2 weeks of rain now that I am back to work again from vacation... oh well, that's life. Especially in Sweden. Back to the point. My beautiful Bulbophyllum pulchellum has outgrown its glorious IKEA cork trivet ehm... and needs larger accommodations. I had gotten 2 kilos of tree [...]
