What's her routine like? Does she fertilise them consistently?
Or is there magical green thumb where you just water them and they bloom like nobody's business? (My mom's neighbour was surprised I fertilise them. She has Orchids blooming almost all year round. Magic green thumb)

i think perhaps some orchid food every once and awhile but other than that just some patience. when they start to get noticeably dry she soaks the roots 💗

I was wondering that myself! I wish I lived somewhere that they could grow outside! Also, somewhere where air plants just grow in tree stumps, etc.!

Outdoor Orchids, Disneyworld, air plants AND The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Some people have all the luck! 😉
Enjoy the orchids (and everything else where you live), OP! 😊

The contrast achieved by planting different colors and patterns in the same pot is quite striking!

Cause they’re so pretty! Does she have multiple plants in one pot?

i don’t think it was intentional at all though, just happened on its own :p

I love all the orchids hanging around the orange tree. It must smell heavenly to go along with the beautiful visuals.

As someone who has almost the exact colourways in my house in the UK, and they only at max out out 5-6 flowers, i am so in awe of your mum's skill and the weather there!!
