Beautiful Orchid blooms. I was watering them this morning and have to admit that I am rather proud to have two orchids blossoming at the same time and another one about to blossom.
This is the first orchid I've had that has blossomed more than once and still alive!
This is one that Jess and Evan bought for Andrew’s birthday last year and he has since relinquished it to my care.
They bought it because the color made them think of me.
This is the one that is about to bloom.
This one was Jess and Evan’s, but they didn’t want it anymore since they have moved to Junction.
And then there is this little guy. I’ve been watering it faithfully for months, not quite sure if it was dead or not. (I think it has a bit of root rot. It was Jess and Evan’s, and it had wilted up leaves when I went to house sit for them.) With my care it has grown a new leaf and….
See the little spot of green inside where the leaves meet? Thats how the blossoms start!
For me this guy shows me that patience and love can make even the worst situation turn out beautifully.
