Our orchids are finally having a spring water. We stop watering in May and we don't water until the days and nights are warmer.

When you water them, the bulbs get full and moist. Then when the nights get cold the bulbs will freeze and turn to "mush" and die off.

Sometimes the "unattractive orchids" without a lot of green growth, are the ones that flower. They put their energy into growing the flowers rather then the green growth.

Aussie native orchids can behave differently to international ones.

Jacks Anzac still looking fabulous 6 weeks after opening.
This orchid was named after Russell's father - who worked on the Railways as railway ganger and a sleeper cutter during the depression.

Lest we forget.

Jack's ANZAC found flowering on ANZAC day.

This orchid was named in honour of Russell's father, who worked on the railways. Jack's family have a long history of service.
Jack's father served in the Boer War. Jack's brothers served in World War 2, and Jack's son (Don), and his son-in-law (Ron) served in Vietnam.
Numerous cousins of Jack's also served in WW 1, and WW 2.
Jack's father-in-law served in WWI, with his father-in-laws was cousin killed at the landing of Gallipoli.

Remembering all our Armed Service personal today, as well as the families that waited at home for these men and women to return..

Just a quick message that while temperatures are so hot, we won't be sending any orchids.

The temperatures in the postal warehouse and the vans could be 10 to 20 degrees hotter, and the orchids will stress with being moved in this heat.

Thank you for your understanding.
