Many orchids are epiphytic, Donna.

growing?
Specifically, I don't 'get' how tying up a plant to tree could

alone bloom? Where are the roots for this orchid? Where is it getting
it's
nutrients from? Are you using the tree as - so to speak- a trellis?
I am totally confused here.... although it is gorgeous !

Year or so ago, I tied an orchid onto the trunk of an orange jasmine
that's across the front patio from the front door. Yesterday, I
noticed
it was blooming.. It's also growing well, but hasn't attached itself
to
the jasmine yet.
