'Tis the dry season in Darwin which approximates for a kind of winter -although a minimum of 27° celcius made it our hottest july night on record. If it keeps this up we will breaking out Neil Diamond and playing "hot August Night". Anyway... normally it is cool and dry and the orchids love it. One particular type I have flowers all year around and thrives on tough love rather than mollycoddling. I provide the odd banana skin and water.
We have two types that are lovely and flower less often. The white one flowers every two years and was a gift for Helen from our dear friend Charmayne.

The other one I have managed to split into three plants and these have been located in different parts of the garden.

The others (and yes there is a yellow habenaros chilli in the mix with fruit) are here in this web album.
