Welcome summer’s arrival with amazing orchids. These brilliant tropical blooms celebrate the summer solstice with warmth and beauty. Within your own home, orchids can transport you to the depths of a tropical jungle, or to the heights of a cloud forest. If you take a summer vacation, orchids may entice you into a far-flung botanical garden, or into a living, breathing rainforest. Here’s to a summer orchid adventure!

These photos are from last year’s Orchids in the Park, held in Golden Gate Park. This year’s event is coming up on July 25-26. It’s definitely on my summer orchid calendar.

    The leaves on my orchids are turning limp….what’s wrong with this? The blooms are fine and I have enjoyed them…I put in them two ice cubes every two weeks for moisture……How can I restore the green leaves?

    Limp leaves may have many causes — overwatering, underwatering, letting the pot sit in water, cold temps, or low humidity. If all the leaves have gone limp, it may be too late to fix the problem, so I hope you can address the cause before it is too late. Good luck!
