This week Plant Lovers it's all about longevity....I was tidying up my Miltassia Lavender Kiss 'Lavender Taffy' when I realised the first spike had opened in late May....and over three months later the final spikes were still looking good! So I thought I'd make a video of all my orchids in bloom at the moment with flowers that last a LONG time!! As we spend so much time and energy on these plants....it's great to have a flower that we know is going to stick around! So here's my 'Best in Show' for longevity! (I didn't have a Phalaenopsis open at the time to include in this...)
