The Hort's Response

- My orchid bloomed once and has not bloomed since although the leaves are very healthy and green. I keep it by a window for light and water by placing 4 ice-cubes in the pot once per week. What can I do to get it to bloom?
- When are the orchids in bloom in the tropical dome?
- Can you tell me how the new Human Sundial on the front entrance of the Domes works?
- What is this plant?
- I purchased a Tamarix ramosissima (Summer glow) After purchasing from local nursery, I found information saying that it is a noxious weed. Is it safe to plant in Wisconsin?
- I recently bought a cactus at the Domes Gift Shop and I am wondering how to care for it?
- What is the tallest tree in the Tropical Dome?
