This is my orchid, happily neglected on the window sill for about 10 months of the year and these are this years flowers. I do love my flowers and houseplants. Today the sun is shining and the daffodils are in bloom, my neighbour has frogs spawn in the pond so I really think spring has come. Thanks to everyone for their kind messages of support and sympathy during these past few sad weeks, Rosie

Your orchid is beautiful Rosie. You'll have to tell me what your secret is i.e. how to look after them properly.
A friend gave me one for my birthday last year and after the flowers died, I trimmed the spike which died off completely. A couple of leaves dropped off but the rest have been fine (and I even had a new one) until recently when they suddenly drooped. There are new shoots coming from the bottom which I assume are new roots and I'm pretty sure the poor thing needs repotting so I have to go get some of whatever you need to pot orchids in. Maybe when I've done this it might pick up a bit and send out a new flower spike.
