This sounds great. I'd love to see your new orchids, I'm sure they're beautiful:) If I had more space on my windowsill, I'd buy myself a few orchids too:)

Thank you:) I can't wait! I'm sure they look really lovely. I like orchids very much. I always promise myself that I'll start growing them, but I can't keep as many plants as I'd like to. My room is too small:( Do orchids need a lot of sunlight?

Your orchids are beyond beautiful, Scotkat! They're very elegant. My favorite is the one in the first picture. It looks lovely with so many pink, tiny dots.
I'd love to grow orchids like these in my room:)

Claudine the blooms last a long time on Orchids and you will get a lot of pleasure from them

I wish I had more windows in my room!:( If I had a second windowsill, I'd put an orchid there. How much sunlight do orchids need?

Claudine all mŷ Orchids are in my front room which gets late evening sun and they do well

But I also have some on my kitchen window sill which get natural sunlight all day.

Orchids don't like the cold temps.

But if you have a wee space try they don't need to be on a window sill.

Sounds like a really good deal you got there scotkat.

As orchids are one my favorite plants - other than being really pleased for you - what can I say but that they are truly beautiful and although I like both - have to say that the one in the first picture - is to me way beyond gorgeous :)
