My Nun's Orchid starting blooming today!!!!!!!!

This morning when I looked out the kitchen window I had a great surprise.  My Nun's orchids were blooming.  This is a terrestrial orchid, meaning it grows in soil.  It will bloom in winter and spring.  The blooms normally last about a month.

This is a zone 9 and 10 plant, so therefore in Waco we normally grow this as a houseplant.  I take mine outside in the spring after the temperatures warm up.  In my house I grow in a east facing window.  Outside I protect from the afternoon sun.  If temperatures are going to be below 40 degrees I will bring my plant indoors.  The only problem you need to watch for is scale.  I feed my orchids every three months with a slow release fertilizer and fish emulsion every two weeks during the active growth time when it is outside and I'm watering it everyday.
