we were given 3 orchids from friends after my wife left the hospital. we are in Florida. it was about a year ago. the other 2 have reflowered and are lovely. this one grew more greenery and appears to be having upside down roots facing upward. what is going on? what did we do to cause this?

Psychopsis papilio never fails to impress. It blooms continuously if given good care. Each time the flower wilts and falls off, a new flower begins to form shortly after, making it a fantastic choice if you want a plant with flowers on it for most of the year! Best of all, it is fairly easy to grow.

Ionopsis utricularioides, or the “delicate violet orchid” as it’s called by some, is an epiphytic orchid native to South Florida. It can be found growing in the wetlands and mangroves found at the bottom of the state. It is, in my opinion, the most beautiful of the orchids native to the US.
