I purchased these orchids in January using the xmas money from dad (thanks) from Fantasy Orchids in Louisville, CO. There are two different types of orchids here: dendrobriums & cattleyas. The dendrobriums have a lot more blooms & last a long time. The 'Fantasy' orchid had 32 buds on it but only 29 bloomed. It smelled divine, as did 'New City'. I still have blooms on the Green Lantern, continuous blooming since Jan. 24 (when I bought it). I don't know when it originally bloomed but at least 3 months now. Pretty amazing.
And guess what? I just discovered that there are wild orchids on Lesvos (the island in Greece that ET is from). Check out it out here.
There is also some great wild bird watching on Lesvos!

you know, I love the orchid varieties. I have about 4 right now, a year old or so. Sometimes I get them to bloom again, but not always. you were right about that david bowie movie -- funny thing.
