The Valentines orchid is still producing blooms. Right now it has 10 blossoms on it, and they are gorgeous. We marvel at it daily on our kitchen table. Husband certainly got his moneys worth on that one! The interesting care tip is that you water it once a week by putting 2-3 ice cubes on the soil to melt. Apparently it is the right amount of fluid and the cold shocks it in some way to promote blooming. Seems to work. I've started "watering" my African Violets the same way, and they started to re-bloom again, too. I do also give 1/2 rate fertilizer regularly.
