As promised to EJ!!
 
These are on their 2nd flowering in a year, worth the money as they started flowering before Christmas and still going strong!
Not too clear, sorry!

Thanks DP. I think I would like to try, what "form" do you buy them in?? You know me, don't know much!!!!

Doris_Pinks

Just the plant form, preferably in flower for me so I can see what it looks like!
Your local nursery or Garden Center should have loads!

I was bought two lovely orchids last mothers day and although the flowers lasted ages and were beautiful, I dont know what to do with the plants now, I've hung on to them hoping they would flower again, but sadly I dont really know how to look after them,  (there were no instructions on them) apart from the fact that they dont like much water.  Should I have cut the flower stem off? do I feed them again now? can someone advise me as I dont want to just get rid of them although the green leaves are very healthy looking
You always love your children more than they love you...

Sorry only just seen this!
I water mine about once a week and use an Orchid feed as per instructions on the pack. I cut the flower spike down by about a half, and they will often reflower off this spike, happening to 2 of mine that I cut back as I type
DON'T get rid of them, they will reward you with more flowers, honest!!
