If I went to a flower shop could I get a nice potted assortment of orchids this time of year?
Are orchids in season now in the North East Part of the US?
Orchids are grown in hot houses to bloom all year round. If you go to a nursery, you can find many lovely plants to buy. Try to buy one that is just starting to bloom. The flowers will last longer. Orchids love east light (morning sun). Keep them well-watered.
After your orchid blooms, it will resort to it's "natural" bloom time for repeat blooms (since you will not be keeping it under "hot house" conditions). Keep watering, feeding and you will get repeat blooms!!
Good Luck!!
Reply:orchids are available basically all year,they are grown both for pot plants and cut blooms.
Reply:Orchids do not really have a season like gardening flowers do. Some don't bloom for a couple of years or more. The best place to find an orchid in a container is a nursery. Before you buy one, you need to read and study to see if you want to work with one as they need lots of attention.
