So this may be getting boring now because it happens year after year, but I continue to think it’s miraculous. I have orchid flowers in my bathroom! And I’m responsible for them blooming!
My phalaenopsis is blooming again. The first flower opened two days ago. The next ones will come quickly. And the plant will be blooming until June. Until JUNE, people!
I look at phalaenopsises (phalaenopsae?) whenever I go to Home Depot or whatever. I’m puzzled by the fact that they get phalaenopsis orchids to bloom at any time of year. Looking back in my memory records, I see that mine blooms at the end of February every year. Is it the duration of the light? Is it evening coldness? The plants continue to get cheaper and they continue to have newer and crazier flower colors and patterns, but I like my white and purple stripey flowers. They remind me of butterflies. I guess that’s why the common name of phalaenopsis orchids is “moth orchid”.
That is gorgeous, it ismiraculous, and God, you do good work! (as in “I am responsible for it blooming” God…ahem…) Never cease to take joy from the little things, friend – and this is one of ’em. Happy bloomin’ orchid! (hmmm…that sounds like an Outback menu item now…)
That’s got to give you a little hope for spring, right? It’s a little glimpse of the near future every morning, and that’s a good thing.
At least the name of this flower doesn’t sound like a female body part! Although it does sound like some type of medical condition.
It’s beautiful! Much nicer than the dirty snow I see on my ride into school!
Your orchid is indeed beautiful! I can’t tell you how many times
I’ve wanted to steal itI’ve almost bought one at Home Depot or IKEA, but my fear of killing something so wonderful always makes me put it back.(What flower makes it home on our face?)
makes its home on your face?
A rosy cheek?
A dais-eye?
A nose flower?
A zit?
I googled it, so I know the real answer…
Tulips! Ha!
