A few years now, I have developed a new found love, a hobby for many, Gardening and especially ORCHIDS. The ORCHIDs are amazing. The wide range colours, the beauty of the flowers, is mesmerizing.
The transformation of these flowers from a bud to what you see in the snap was very special.

Its an education, each day to  ensure the right quantity of water, the right temperature, the required humidity levels  to spray fertilizer, spray insectisides and stuff - take a lot of patience and discipline. 
Finally when they bloome to its fullest, the experience was pure JOY and SATISFACTION!!
You probably know, ORCHIDS take a long time to bloom, and once they do, they stay like that for months. Most of these flowers that you see in the snaps have stayed like this for close to 5 months and some of them for 8 months.

ITS HOW I WANT YOUR AND MY RELATIONSHIP TO BE, "LONG LASTING" !!!!

I Feel very complete having taken up this hobby.

ENJOY...the feast for your eyes... All these ORCHIDS grew and bloomed in our balcony garden!!!

    1. If you could provide the right settings (temperature, humidity) I am of the opinion that Orchids will grow in Mumbai.

      Let me send you some material on how you setup a Orchid garden within your house.
