Can't get your orchid to bloom? That's ok
Come to our beginners meeting at 5:30pm on May 4th and let the orchid force be with you. You will learn how to take care of your orchids so some day you too will get your orchid to look like one of these. In the meantime stop by the garden factory and get yourself a fake one. Pluck a few flowers off so it looks more natural. We won't tell anyone it's fake.
