During this virus pandemic, just about everyone is still looking for ways to feel better. One of my favorite pastimes is looking after the various flowers and plants that I nurture along. I do love orchids, and, as anyone who’s tried to raise them knows, they need a lot of nurturing and attention.
I’ve had the orchid in the image here for several years; at various points, in time, the plant had no flowers and actually looked like it had passed on. Fortunately for me, I didn’t throw it away; I kept watering it, talking to it, and encouraging the plant to do something.
One day, tiny blossoms began to appear; in a short time, 5 new and beautiful flowers bloomed. They lasted a long time before dropping off; leaving behind a plant that’s gone back to sleep for a while.
I have another orchid plant on the same window shelf; that one has 3 new blossoms. With light watering and occasionally talking to the plant, it’ll be around for some weeks.
That always, always, makes me feel great.
Are we there yet?
