I bet you can't wait! What a lovely, healthy looking plant! More pics as it opens, please :)
(Aren't there a lot of top-class photographers on A4A?)
It's beautiful. What type of orchid is it, please.
I have no idea Freesia. I brought 3 of them a couple of years back on the cheapo counter at our local nursery. No labels, no flowers, but the promise of loveliness.
soooo pretty :)
lovely pic EJ :)
And now in it's full glory.

Thats just so so lovely Emma. I remember it from last year and mine was flowering at the same time - no flowers on mine this year. Its been neglected me thinks, but they are such beautiful flowers.
Emma That is beautiful.
Gorgeous Emma!
Stunning, Emma! (Fabulous fotos too :)) Thanks for showing us :-* :-* :-*
I am soooo envious Emma. We have tried to grow orchids but without success. I saw on tele recently that you should let the light get to the roots by growing them in a glass pot. Do you do this I wonder. Gorgeous photos :)
No Pat I don't. This beauty resides in a blue glazed terracotta pot in a mix of my own compost and composted bark. It lives out in the dappled shade by our pond from May until October, then in she comes. Within a couple of weeks the bud stems start appearing, and hey presto, lovliness. :) I'm glad you all love her as much as I do.
Congratulations EJ, that is absolutely beautiful.
Cheers,
Rob ;)
