My dendrobium orchid that I've had for at least three years appears to be finally producing a flower spike. I can't be sure, it's very tiny, but I have hope. Here's a picture: This is the first time a bud has appeared at the top of the cane. I understand that orchids of this variety need at least three or four canes before they can bloom because energy is stored in the canes (pseudobulbs).
I am a craftsman; whether I'm working with silver, wood, live plants, flour and water, or Romex wire I can't help seeing the potential in raw materials and the promise of beauty or function created through the careful application of method and technique. In my professional life I work with art objects, and while I'm not an artist per se, I hope to improve my artistic ability through the creation of bonsai. This blog is mostly about gardening and bonsai cultivation, and is basically a gardening journal to record my own progress,with a few family photos thrown in. I hope others find it inspiring or informative.
