Artificial Dancing Lady Orchid

     

     It's another Mellow Yellow Monday Folks and my entry for today is this artificial Dancing Lady or Dancing Doll Orchid (Oncidium Reflexum). Hubby got this flower in a Flea Market in Huntington Beach, California few years ago. When I first saw this flower,  I thought it was real. But actually it was made of plastic materials and cloth. We usually place this artificial flower either in front of the fireplace when we are not using it or at the corner part of our living room because it is too big to be placed on the table as a centerpiece.

     I had a real Dancing Lady many years ago before I came here in the US. I really like this kind of orchid plant because it is easy to grow and has a very pretty yellow flowers. I did not use a fertilizer or orchid foods for this plant. We/I used an alternative so that this orchid will grow healthy. Since rice is the main food in our country, cooking it at least twice a day is very common. Most of the time when we rinse the rice, we kept and used the foggy white color water in watering our plants particularly the orchids. I don't know if it is proven to make the plants healthy and bear flowers but based in my own experienced it surely does.
