It has been a while since I've posted any blogs here. I had to do a little work to get it going and I thought this might be a good place for some girly design things that I like to think about, even if I don't get to work on them. So here goes....
Orchids... I've had this pair in a pot for a long time - they send out a bloom shoot about once a year. A few times it started some bud shoots and one or all of my children cut it off before it actually bloomed (aka learning how to use scissors - unauthorized ). But they are getting old enough to know that this would bother me greatly so they left this one alone. Before I bought this orchid, I was sort of in awe of orchids because I heard they were so hard to grow. However these two apparently thrive on neglect because they tend to just do their thing on their own. I like low maintenance plants that are pretty and still are blooming after almost 2 months.
Today they are cheering me up because it's generally been a chilly grey day in June - which is sort of ironic considering it was over 100 degrees just two days ago. So what I'm saying is that if you see those $20 orchids as you are checking out somewhere, they might be worth picking one up and setting next to a window in your bedroom. Mine make me smile!
