Orchids in the Wild



Snowbabie's Snowdrops inspired me to post this photo taken on Rang Yai Island, Phuket. Wild orchids are seen everywhere on the island, and are extremely easy to grow in the warm and high humidity weather. They grow almost everywhere, even off the tree trunks, like the one seen in this photo.

Beautiful :-) It's amazing that they can grow from a tree trunk like that.

Yes it is. I had one indoor a couple of years ago, but it died on me. It takes a lot to keep one alive over here on the west coast of Canada, at least for me. has to be the right amount of water, humidity, and sun light.
