I have a flower that is like an orchid but isn't. i can't remember what it is. i thought it was working up to bloom but then my husband forgot and left it on the heater after he built a fire in it and now it seems to be recooperating. I like the way you look at the capchas. I don't like them but I must say I'm good at them.
Aren't they awesome! I have them hanging all over my trees and forget they exist until suddenly I see a huge spike blooming it's heart out! I don't share this with many as I always think one of those hot house orchid growers would be horrified by my lack of interest.
It's a good lesson for a parent - sometimes (maybe?) we fret to much. Or it's a good lesson for a gardner - plants will flower and fruit when in danger. Or it's a good lesson for ... must there be a good lesson in every and each miracle? it's just great that your orchid bloomed - end of story. A Tired "Catholic", Parent, and Gardener :)
I always say I have the worst luck with orchids but honestly, I just have no patience to live with a stick in a pot for longer than a week.
ReplyDeleteI think that's what orchids like. Which is also a nice thing to think about- such reward for no reason.
ReplyDeleteHere's to blooming in adversity, unexpected rewards and pleasant surprises. Have a good weekend. Cheers.
