My Birthday Orchid


I was just as pleased to visit the orchid place and snap away, snap away. But hubby decided I should have one for my very own. Funny, if I care for it according to the directions, the owner said it could outlive me. I asked him if he was a prophet.


So happy birthday to me today. It now has 10 blossoms to bless me with.

  3. Oh, yes, another thought. I think it's so great that orchids have become affordable enough to actually be sold in grocery stores these days!

    1. The bad news is we live in the desert. :-) The good news is that in the summer we run a swamp cooler than injects lots of humidity into the air. The greenhouse guy recommended this particualr kind and gave instructions how to care for it, so hopefully, it works!
