For quite a while now, orchid aficionados have told the rest of us told that orchids can be easy to grow.
The sophisticated flowers are not just in the greenhouses of the green-thumbed but can sit in anyone’s window, usually if the orchids are of the phalaenopsis type. Those are the ones mass merchandisers usually carry.
But the stores are also kicking it up a notch, said Susie Sutton of the Kansas Orchid Society. The society will have its fall show and sale next weekend at Botanica. Arrangements of orchids will be among those on display — as will a black orchid — and vendors will have all kinds for sale, along with growing supplies. The best part is that the society’s members are right there to answer your questions and help you select the orchids that are best for your situation.
