When I saw this image on Pinterest I couldn't believe it. It really does look like a parrot. My first instinct was to order the seeds on the spot. My second thought was to put the brakes on ordering.
I have grown, or should I say, tried to grow orchids. They see me coming and they tend to curl up and die. Of course, all plants seemed to react in the same way until this year.
I have been able to get some seeds to germinate and start growing little tiny seedlings. Maybe I could get the parrot orchid seeds to grow into a plant. Or, maybe I will wait until next year to try.
I am amazed at some of the plants they have come up with in the last year or two. I will keep on looking and start picking out for next year. Maybe my brown thumb is starting to turn in a green thumb.

This is an amazing orchid. Keep trying...just talk to your plants and keep them watered.
