Healthy Happy Orchids Every day, the orchids look healthier and stronger. The second shoot is getting bigger and the buds are getting full. I think we'll have more orchids in a few weeks. One bud looks like it getting ready to pop. If you have the right light, everything works. Also, some 2-2-2 fertilizer helps … Continue reading THE ORCHIDS ARE DOING VERY WELL – Marilyn Armstrong

These photographs are drawn from my archives. Some are more than a decade old, others more recent. And of course, everything is in … Continue reading WHEELS WITHIN WHEELS – Marilyn Armstrong
