Orchid Colors
So I recently posted my own first orchid bloom for spring here and now I see they are wheeling the big guns at a local garden Centre for a profusion of orchids and colors. Here’s a sample

And no, none of these are my plants …yet) but I thought I’d share for orchid lovers out there

I love orchids these are gorgeous!!! Thanks for the photo @Seymour
@StarryKentia They all standard Moth Orchids (except my plant ID which is a different type of orchid)
Those are some gorgeous orchids Seymour!
I think I'd have to be picking up that orange one 🧑
wow!!
@Seymour I love the picture of the orchids very nice
I love orchids to look at. Not to grow because they all hate me πŸ˜‚
@Seymour this is my favorite of all! Love that it has several different colors. Orange, pink and yellow.. πŸ§‘πŸ©·πŸ’›πŸ« πŸ˜πŸ™ŒπŸ»
They’re all stunners.
Oooh. I saw this orchid last month at the supermarket as well! So pretty 😍
@Araceae Yes a lovely color, Im moving away from the white ones these days. I see orchids outside nearly every supermarket these days but not as nice as that one. Thanks for sharing πŸ˜€πŸ‘
@CourtlyKingfern I’m biased towards that one as well, although some of the pink pattern ones are stunning as well…but that was the one that stood out to me (hence it was photographed a bit more by me !)
@PricklyThumb They dont hate you Joan, I think the key is the right substrate for them to grow in and getting their watering needs right as they tend to be overwatered. I’m sure they’d love to be your friend one day πŸ˜€πŸ₯°
@UltraKoreanfir Glad you enjoyed the orange. I thought you were going red instead πŸ˜‰LOL πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ There are so many orchids being wheeled out for spring so I may add some more photos at some stage.
@LaSiguanaba Thanks Rose Red, how are your orchids these days ?
@StarryKentia Looks like that wishlist might grow and grow ! πŸ˜ƒ
@Seymour I just had one of my orchids finish blooming after a month and a 1/2 of some very gorgeous flowers! It kind of spoiled me and makes me want to get another orchid, πŸ˜‚
@Seymour I want red AND orange. Red because I never see them, and orange because I love the pastels.
@UltraKoreanfir Oh, I thought you might be basing your choices on the meaning behind the colors in thst blog I posted about orchids. Reds seem hard to come by but I’m sure they’re about. Hope you find some and look forward to you sharing πŸ‘πŸ˜€

As with most red blooms, red orchids are associated with desire, passion and love. They can be given as a way to say "I love you" or to express deep affection. Red orchids can also be used to symbolise strength, courage and respect

Orange orchids are said to represent excitement, enthusiasm, and determination, as well as to show appreciation and pride

A few more flowers I spotted today at my local gardening center chain and my own orchid has another flower, more on the way. @UltraKoreanfir Thought you might like this burnt orange (my description) orchid flower πŸ‘πŸ˜€πŸ€©
Woo the one beside the cream looks like champion lightning? But the orange one is gorgeous as well!
@Seymour very pretty and that orange one is very pretty. Happy your plant has another flower on the way!! πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ˜‰
@Seymour burnt orange is a great description. I love it. I think I "could" go all orchids and be perfectly happy. One of each color, please!

I'd need to buy a greenhouse for sure...a big one! 😜
@UltraKoreanfir Even a small greenhouse would be a great addition in my book. One could really go to town on all the different colors of orchids and also different types. It’s nice to add some color to our lives 🌸🌼🌺
