I have noticed when I’m showering on the weekend that I’ve smelled wood smoke. I thought maybe a neighbor had a fireplace that they lit for warmth.
Then recently, I noticed it was just Sunday I was smelling the smoke. Why would the neighbor only light the fire on Sundays?
Then I realized that I was smelling the smoke after I watered my bathroom orchids, which I do every Sunday morning.
The orchid potting mix has chunks of charcoal in it. I haven’t been smelling fire. I’ve been smelling my orchids.
My orchids are still blooming. I think I’ve only been without orchid flowers for maybe a month in the last year. Amazing!
You sure have sensitive nasal equipment if you smell can wet charcoal!
Do you suppose it is the charcoal in the potting soil that has been enabling perpetual blooms?
Ha! That didn’t have the ending I thought it would (electrical fire or awesome crazy neighbor), but at least the mystery is solved.
I agree with Carol- you have an incredibly sensitive nose.
