Hello Leo,... ...Do you find them easy or difficult to grow?
Hello Leo,
I am not an experienced orchid grower and my collection consists only of 10-12 plants.
Considering the above, I dare say Ophrys are easy.
I keep them dry into their pot during summer. Only mist the substrate 2-3 times.
Upon fall coming I mist them more and start watering when green appears.
I can't wait to see that one in full bloom. I LOVE purple.This one is about to explode. It is called Girard" Fuchsia, has dark purple flowers.

Beautiful as always. Do you know what the purple on is? It is spectacular. (coming from a purple fanatic)A few more, the cooler weather has really helped with the azaleas this year.

In case you are wondering what they look like, here is the flower. I have another, but I pruned it too late so there are not that many flowers on it. I wish that the camera would capture the vivid purple that this one has.

I call this one Miss Scralett. I think it is Girard's Scarlett.
