Yet Another Top Post Countdown
It just occurred to me that 2019 marked my 10th year of orchid growing! This means that I’ve officially been into the hobby for a quarter of my life. That’s kind of mind blowing!
Okay, so every website on the planet is doing these “top X of the year” posts…I did it on my personal blog so I’m doing it here too. 🙂 But first, I wanna share a couple pics of my red NOID Phal keiki that started blooming yesterday! This one snuck in just before the end of the year:
Take a closer look at this beautiful bloom:
LOVE!! This orchid’s spike had started developing a second bud, but it blasted and fell off. I’m still happy with just one bloom, though.
Okay! So let’s do a quick countdown of my five most viewed posts in 2019. These aren’t necessarily posts that I published this year…they’re just the posts that people read the most.
5. How to Identify a New Orchid Root vs. Flower Spike
4. Keikis: What They Are and What to Do with Them
3. How to Cut a Phalaenopsis Orchid Spike
2. How to Recognize Orchid Roots and Orchid Spikes, Part Deux: Photos!
And the most viewed post in 2019 was…
1. Tips on Caring for a Sick Orchid
I’m not surprised these are the top posts; they address a lot of the same questions and issues I encountered when I first took up orchid growing as a hobby in 2009. Not that I’ve mastered orchid growing by any means, haha. These top posts and others are all listed on my Orchid Care FAQs page, which is a good resource for orchid beginners.
In case you still need a 2020 calendar, my orchid calendar is available in my Zazzle store for 20% off through 11:59pm PST when you use code YEAREND40OFF. (I know, it’s confusing; some items are 40% off and others are 20% off.)
Thank you all so much for reading and for your support! Happy New Year!
