Below is some pictures of my one and only orchid. When I lived in Florida, I had over 100 orchids of different varieties. So far this one has lasted and been in bloom since the middle of November.
I have the orchid sitting in my bathroom since the plant does like humidity, and I keep a little spray bottle to keep the roots misted.
Above is a shot of yet another bud.
Now look at how pretty the little face is!Have a great day ----- Roberta

Those twisties are really clever, nice idea!
Those Orchids are really pretty, and i love the little ort bags, i keep my offcuts in a jar, i used to just throw them away but the threads look pretty all together.

The ORT twistie is such a good idea, and I love mine!
Roberta your orchid is beautiful! I can't believe you had 100+. That must have been such an amazing site to see. Thanks for sharing this.
Oh, your orchid is beautiful Roberta - you must have the touch to grow them because I can never get mine to rebloom!
Can I ask also where you get the little wooden forms for the twisties? I made one in a class once and would love to make more but don't know where to purchase the little forms.
Hello Roberta,
Your twisty is really practical and handsome as well! Such a nice gift! I had a square one (paper) from Anne and I use it a lot when taking my stitches with me elsewhere.
Your orchids look great. We lived in an area in Holland for 5 years where they grow orchids, sweet peppers etc. The smell of a 'orchid factory' (no Phalaenopsis but Cymbidium varieties) is gorgeous, so delicate! I still miss that. It's very, very special.
Have a nice week & greetings, Carolien
Very cute Ort bags and love the orchids.

I hope you had a great time with your friends, Roberta. What a clever idea for the Ort twistie! I have orchid envy!! I know you know the tale of my poor Ophelia The Orchid, so you'll understand why I am pea green with envy! It looks great.
The twistie is a fabulous idea! I have a little bowl that I use at home, but never have a good way to keep track of orts when I am stitching away from home.
The flower face put me immediately in mind of Alice In Wonderland! LOL! :D
I love the idea of taking the twisty with you in your stitching bag...very clever. Is that an original pattern or is it available somewhere on line?
Roberta,
What a great idea those twisties are and such a thoughtful gift for your friends. I have an orts bag Margaret made for me and I just love it.
Your orchid is beautiful. It's such an elegant flower and I love this colour
Hugs, Angela
This ort twistie is really cool. You can take it wherever you go together with your project. Great idea.
Hi Roberta, you left a message on my old blogsite (at blogger) asking if that was my "new" blog. No, it isn't. My blog is hosted by Wordpress and can be found here:

Those twisties are wonderfully useful . I´ve seen the one you sent to Margaret - - so very very clever:)
Roberta--I LOVE my twistie!!! And the fabric is just perfect (samplers--my love). You are so incredibly talented!
Love you,
Caroline
