In 1879, the United States made Washington's February 22nd Birthday a federal holiday. Today, the third Monday in February is frequently referred to as Presidents Day..
1 Most orchids bloom once a year, but if they are really happy, they may bloom more often. If you want an orchid that blooms during a particular season, the best bet is to purchase a plant that is in bloom at that time.  When an orchid does flower it usually remains in bloom for six to ten weeks.
If your orchid is a Dendrobium type, trimming is a little different. Trim the flowers off as they fade but leave the stem. Next year it will flower on the same stalk. Trim roots and re-pot as normal. If there are any places on the stalk that have turned yellow or brown, cut them back completely so that the plant will grow back healthier. 2  Remove the orchid from its pot. 3  Prune away any dead or damaged roots. 4  Replant the orchid in a bigger pot each year so that it has more room to grow.
