I mentioned this in one of my older threads, but I really had to cut back on tropical orchids due to a lack of time and space, so I don't see as many blooms in the house as I used to. While not tropical, this Pleione formosana is a beautiful little windowsill plant blooming right now, just as we are getting a huge dump of snow outside. It reminds me that elsewhere in the world, spring actually exists before May! I picked up a couple bulbs at the orchid show a few weeks ago. I'm sure they're nothing special to a lot of people, but Pleione are very uncommon around here, and this is only the second or third time I've seen one in flower.
