(Continued from P>|( 1)
ber of varieties of orchids, Mrs.
Worthington pointed out, all can
be divided into three varieties:
warm, intermediates, and cooL
She said that intermediates are
best suited for growing in homes
because they thrive on tempera
tures most commonly found in the
average American household.
In the daytime, she tries to
maintain a temperature for the
orchids between 70 and 72 de
grees and at night between 55 and
60 degrees. In the summertime,
she leaves the plants outdoors un
der a tree where they can receive
dappled sunlight.
She gives her orchids food once
a month (using only one fourth
the quantity she would on other
flowers), immerses the, flower
pots in water once a week, and
sprays the stems and flowers once
a day with a spray like that used
to clean windows.
The major diference between

she said, is that the former are
not grown in soil but in a sub
stance known as osmunda fiber
taken from the osmunda fern. This
material most nearly approximates
the orchid's natural growing con
ditions in the tropics.
Despite the fact that orchids
are known as parasites, Mrs.
Worthington pointed out, they are
actually "epiphytes", which grow
naturally on other plants, but do
not feed off the plants themselves^
merely hanging on.
She added that orchids grow in
the tropics in trees, feeding on
materials that come to lodge in
the tree.
Although orchids look delicate,
she said, that they are actually
sturdier than most other flowers

and retain their fresh appearance
lunger after being cut than other
popular flowers.
Mrs. Worthington said that she
has been growing orchids for the
past three years ? ever since she
got her first plant at the McKee
Jungle Gardens in Vero Beach,
Fla. She explained that her hus
band has brought home a number
of other orchid plants, and said
that "he's in this as deep as I am."
Because of the fact that it takes
seven years to grow orchids from
seed to maturity, most people pre
fer to buy orchids in later stages
of growth, she said.
The price range on plants is a
bout $5 apiece for cattleyas to $18
for the frequent-blooming phal
aenopsis.
Mrs. Worthington commented
that although orchids have become
her favorite indoor plant ? "be
cause they are so different" ?
she says she and her husband still
love their roses which grow out In
the yard.
She's also proud of her camel
lias. which are now in bloom out?
