If only I had a boyfriend like you . . . :-)
Do you have a local orchid nursery? If so, how about a nice lunch out, a
trip to the nursery, and a plant or two of her choice?
If you don't have a local nursery, you could buy her a plant by mail
order.
I'm a relative newbie, too, and I've had great success with phalenopsis
and
phragmipediums. You could also check out http://orchid-society-gb.com/
(the
web site for the Orchid Society of Great Britain) or look through "Growing
Orchids" (I have it, too) to get other ideas.
Good luck, Brian!

I am an Orchid Widower! My girlfriend loves Orchids and at the last
count
has 15 or so. I joke she only spends a little time per week on her
plants.
However She has a wonderful book on orchids by Brian and Wilma
Rittershausen
from Bennetts near Bovey Tracey, UK.
She has learned loads from this but is looking for something that has
more
to offer, thought you guys might have some suggestions so I can come up
with
a gift for her birthday!!
All the best
Brian
