One of the most popular species of orchids, phalaenopsis are real drama queens. When massed together they make a real statement. For those of you living in Southern California, there is an orchid farm in Landers that's open to the public. Early each October they hold the Morongo Basin Orchid Festival. Enjoy tours, food and entertainment. It's a great chance to see how they grow orchids in the desert. Check this year's date at www.Gublers/com
