I always felt guilty about it. My sister in law bought me one for like 4 yrs in a row and they didn’t survive. I think I got one new bloom.

My friend keeps hers in the laundry room on the dryer and barely waters it. She’s had it for years!

I could never keep orchids alive.[emoji20]
My sister in south Florida (very near Ed/ZEROPILOT) has an outdoor orchid house and grows BUNCHES of gorgeous orchids!!!! I’m very jealous!!!

I seem to do well with African violets, though. [emoji5]

Good morning (afternoon?), Carol! I’ll see what I can do, but I’m not very good at separating rain from snow — we’re having a sleet now :eek:
We used to have very dry summers in Turkey too (that’s where I lived until recently), and it wasn’t the best thing for my garden. :/
Sorry. Was busy at work for a change so was not able to answer or read any posts. Okay in answer to your post. Dry summers are relatively normal for Cape Town. The problem lies in the fact our normally wet winters have not been very wet lately so the dams which provide water for everybody did not get the water they would have received in winter.

I 'll also take snow. As snow melts and turns into water.[emoji1]
