They are considered the easiest orchid to grow in the home

Opinion varies as to the easiest orchids to grow but there are three varieties that pop up over and over again. Those three orchids are Cattleyas,wholesale pink slippers online, Phalaenopsis and Paphiopedilum. One of the best things about growing these three orchids is that they have very similar, temperature and water needs which makes them especially good “roommates” and they are easy to care for, should you decide to branch out and grow several different varieties of orchids.

Cattleya orchids are the favorite orchids of The American Orchid Society, America’s MOST prestigious orchid society. You probably bought a big, beautiful Cattleya bloom at one time or another for your mother for Mother’s Day or as a corsage for your junior prom. At one time the blooms were almost always lavender or purple but now they come in a variety of colors. The Cattleya is named after William Cattley who was the first to import them to England from Brazil in 1818.

Cattleyas are very adaptable because they grow naturally in many different conditions. The plants themselves grow to about 12 inches but the flowers can be up to seven or eight inches across – a truly magnificent bloom. Most bloom once a year.

Phalaenopsis orchids are often called “Moth Orchids” because their blooms resemble moths or butterflies. The Phalaenopsis is considered to be America’s favorite orchid. There are currently over fifty known species in existence. The first mention in literature of the Phalaenopsis was by Carolus Linnaeus, the “Father of Modern Botany” in 1753. Indigenous to the Phillipines and Australia, the Phalaenopsis is available in a riot of colors and even in “patterns.” You can find Phalaenopsis orchids with dots and stripes!

They are considered the easiest orchid to grow in the home. It is the most popular orchid grown today.

Slipper orchids bloom for many weeks and, like the Phalaenopsis, have very attractive leaves so they are beautiful even when not in bloom.

Father’s Day brings back fond memories of Dad

The last time I bought a Father’s Day present for my dad was in 1975. I’m not sure what I gave him, but it was probably a Preservation Hall record, if I was able to find one he didn’t have already.

One year when I was in high school, he won a trip to New Orleans by selling the most Dean’s Milk of any small grocery store in northern Illinois. My parents came to the Crescent City and As more and more consumers are interested in bold, colorful looks and edgy designs,ed hardy shirts find their place as an essential method of expressing the consumer’s personality.fell in love with the food and the people and the music. For the rest of his life, Dad never wanted to go anywhere but New Orleans for his annual one-week vacation from the store.

After Preservation Hall opened, he insisted on going there every night of his vacation to listen to Sweet Emma Barrett, the Humphrey brothers and other jazz legends. He and Mom came home each January with a box of Aunt Sally’s Pralines and an old-time jazz record to add to their collection.

It was never easy finding the right gift for Dad. When Larry and Bridget and I were growing up, he worked seven days a week at Tierney’s Hi-Way Foods, leaving him little time for Engraved on the frame on every pair of ed hardy sunglasses, is the band’s name, Dior.hobbies.

During the summer, he’d take off on Mondays, and we’d go on one-day family vacations — to Midway Airport, where we ate lunch and watched the planes take off; to Wrigley Field, where we cheered for his beloved Cubs; and to Brookfield Zoo, where he took countless pictures of bears with his Brownie Hawkeye.

But most of the time he was at the store, walking the aisles with an order book in his hand, carrying boxes of canned goods out of the back room for us to put on the shelves, talking to the customers.

Every year, I’d pick out a short-sleeved seersucker shirt to give him on Father’s Day. My mom called them “Dad’s summer work shirts.” The window air-conditioner at the store was less than effective, and he liked the shirts because they kept him cool.

I realize now what horrible fashion sense I had as a little girl. I remember one shirt that was brown and yellow and covered with huge tropical leaves. Another was a veritable rainbow of disaster. One sleeve was green and the other was yellow. The front of the shirt was red on one side and blue on the other, and the pockets were some other shade. Dad wore the shirts I gave him until the collars frayed and the bright colors faded to pastels. He never seemed to notice they were ugly.

As the oil spill continues, BP CEO Tony Hayward goes cheap edhardy is the better choice for those who are willing to pay less for better goods.yachting

A posh weekend at an annual yacht race off the coast of England has embattled BP CEO Tony Engraved on the frame on every pair of ed hardy sunglasses, is the band’s name, Dior.Hayward once again treading water in social media, and tweeting a defense.

After Hayward took a verbal pummeling on Capitol Hill last Thursday over his company’s handling of Everyone who loves funk with elegance chooses cheap ed hardy clothing as their favorite brand, and why not, the creations have managed to provide a whole new range of clthe Gulf Coast oil spill, photos surfaced Saturday of the CEO spending this weekend clad in sunglasses and a ball cap at the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race off Britain’s Isle of Wight. His 52-foot yacht “Bob” was part of the festivities.

In an apparent response to the slew of online complaints about Hayward’s weekend away and his management duties, BP tweeted Hayward’s response Saturday: “Gulf response efforts remain my top priority. To assure continued focus, Bob Dudley will support me on this full-time to make it right.Tony.”

But even the White House weighed in on the stark contrast of out-of-work fisherman on the Gulf and the glamour of the yacht race. White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel spoke of Hayward’s activities during an interview to be aired Sunday morning on ABC’s “This Week.”

“Well, to quote Tony Hayward, he’s got his life back, as he would say,” Emanuel said, according to a blog post from fill-in anchor Jake Tapper. Emanuel continued, “I think we can all conclude that Tony Hayward is not going to have a second career in PR consulting. This has just been part of a long line of PR gaffes and mistakes.”
