Two weeks ago I was looking for something to post on Show &Tell Friday and took some photos of the spikes on my Cymbidium orchids that we grow outside.
Normally by this time of the year we have about 12 to 15 spikes altogether on our various orchids. This year I've found only 3 blooming or spiking and am very disappointed. I think it was possibly the cold and hail that we've had here in So CA this winter.....but I can't say for sure.
This was 2 weeks ago

Your orchids are still beautiful. I think this is a weird year weather wise and plants aren't behaving properly!
Exquisite. Orchids are my husband's favorite flower. Sincerely, Susan
The weather has been crazy here and affected everything growing/blooming. Hope it gets better. Have a great weekend.
Beautiful orchids!! Yes I know what you mean everything this year is blooming late or not blooming as well and it's because of the severe cold weather we had.
I LOVE orchids, and yours are beautiful! If they're having a bad season look on it as they're taking a rest and next season they'll be re-invigorated.
Oh my mom would love seeing your orchids as she likes the same flowers.. Orchids are her fave.. orchids always exotic kindda flowers and they last long.. your orchids just lovely..
GASP! These are incredibly beautiful and great photos as well.
Things are definitely different this year! But the orchids are still quite beautiful!

I'm in So Cal also and we have had a lot of rain and cold! But your orchids are still lovely, I'd be thrilled if I could get just one to grow!!!
Your orchids are beautiful! I've never had any luck with them, I understand you have to be very patient - I guess that must be the problem!
Thanks for dropping by the other day!

Hoping your orchids are blooming soon. I do like your Mosiac Monday Pics.
Love it! I don't have much luck with orchids, so I have some silk ones! My thumb is so far from green, that I've killed cactus! I'm new to the blogging world and just became a follower of your blog! I hope you'll visit my blog, too!
