Did Santa bring you everything you want? Anything Orchid related? I got an I.O.U. for orchids as part of my Christmas present. It’s a bit too cold for most places to ship right now so I’ll have to wait until springtime. Continue reading
Now I know it’s not an orchid, but my Venus Fly Trap is flowering. The first bloom opened last week, surprising me. I knew it was going to bloom, the spike is really long, but I didn’t expect it to be so….. pretty.
Such a delicate little flower for a plant I honestly didn’t want to get. I only got it because we had a fruit fly problem during the Summer that had to be taken care of. From the looks of it, I will end up with 4 flowers. Most information I’ve found about it said that often spikes are just cut off so the plant can focus on growing. Well I might do that in the future, but this time I wanted to see what they looked like. I’m glad I did. The first bloom has since dried up, but the other three are beginning so show their colour, and will probably open up before Christmas.
