A two-orchid household

I thought I'd post some pictures of what's blooming at our house. My second oldest orchid, a phalaenopsis. It's bloomed almost every year since I bought it, unlike the others in my collection.

This is the second blooming of this amaryllis. It bloomed briefly over Christmas, but disappointingly faded quickly. I threw the bulb outside on a pile of sticks and leaves and it stayed there for a month or so. A few weeks ago I was collecting the pile of stuff for disposal, and I found that the bulb had a new shoot forming and there was a nice flower bud on it, so I re-potted it and here's the result.

This is a Bird of Paradise that I've had for a number of years without any blooms. It was an anniversary present from my husband, since these flowers were prominent at our wedding site, but I was beginning to despair that it wasn't getting enough sun to flower. But here we are. Note: Bird of Paradise is also one of my favorite yoga poses!

I bought this miniature cymbidium, my first orchid, on sale because it hadn't bloomed. So the first time it bloomed was a surprise--but I enjoy it every time it blooms. This guy sits outside on our patio all year and I throw some fertilizer on once or twice a year.
