Living In No. Carolina

I arrived in No. Carolina in August.  Was it hot ... So. California was never like this.  Too hot to go out, but the orchids were loving it.
My cousins were coming to visit from London so I went looking for orchids in the area.  (I was till very very new so did not know where to go.)  I wanted a beautiful orchid for their room, so I found a place that had a lovely white Cattleya, which, believe it or not, I still have. Over the years, Jim has divided it giving me many more of this variety. Jim told me that one has to divide orchids when they get to big for the pot.  I just assumed they would be the same every year just giving me blooms.  How silly of me, everything grows, that is the way orchids or plants multiply.
My sister and her husband thought they would surprise my cousin, so they came to visit as well.  The hunt went on for more orchids.
I wanted every room and bathroom to have beautiful orchids, but that was expensive.  This one orchid was as expensive as the flower shop in Beverly Hills.
I was so happy when my family arrived, enjoying the orchids with us.
