Our Garden 2004-04

Trying to keep track of what is going on out in the garden is a full time job. The problem with a lot of orchids
and bromeliads is that you can't be sure what they are until they flower. Getting them to flower is the trick -
if you don't know what they are then you can't be sure how to handle them :) I enjoy a puzzle and all the plants
seem to be growing healthily, so we'll update them as we find out what they are (and get piccies of the
wonderful flowers).

Cymbidiums are starting to produce flower spikes. We've only seen two of them flower before - one green and one pink (see 09/2003). There's got to be more colours in there though - must be!
