The orchid that I received as a gift for Valentine's Day has had 18-24
blooms on it since mid February. It still has 23 blooms and 5 new buds.
I'm just curious to know if this is unusual for a phalaenopsis, as I have
not grown orchids before. I have not fed it, as I was told not to until
it had finished its bloom cycle. However, I read some information from
orchid growers that indicates I should have been feeding it all along.
Can someone recommend a good reference book or material?
