Spectacular, rare, exotic, epiphytic, terrestrial - these are the adjectives usually reserved for describing orchids, and Harry Phillips, of Andy's Orchids, will highlight several hardy orchids as well as the more delicate orchids that might be perfect for your garden and home. They come in an infinite variety of shapes, colors, sizes and some have the fragrance of coconut and chocolate! But be forewarned, once you begin to learn about their diverse beauty, you may need to join the passionate and even obsessive world of collecting orchids. Go to www.andysorchids.com for mail order, photos, appearance schedules and cultural information. From Oasis Water Efficient Gardens, Bob Reidmuller will give a "pointed" discussion about the dramatic and architectural Agave celsii, a perfect focal plant for the water-thrifty landscape.

10 Easy Steps to Divide and Re-plant Cymbidiums ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's easy to fall hopelessly in love with Cymbidium orchids. Their gorgeous flowering spikes in a rainbow of colors ranging from whites, reds, pinks, oranges, browns, yellows, greens, coppers and purples as well as multi-hued freckles, stripes and streaks may look delicate, but can be grown outdoors year-round in mild winter climates. Upright Cymbidiums add winter-early spring beauty under the shaded canopy of a tree and can be brought indoors to enjoy their clustered blossoms. Miniatures are ideal for small spaces and cascading varieties are breathtaking in hanging baskets. And as cut flowers, they can last about 2-3 weeks and up to 4-12 weeks (depending on the weather and the variety) if left on the plant. READ MORE >>
