I do not have a green thumb. In fact, I can kill just about any plant I have ever been given. But, quite a while back some neighbours who have not only green thumbs but whole green hands gave me an orchid. It bloomed politely. And then it sat there. The neighbours came for a meal and pointed out to me the spot where it should be cut back. I did that.
And it sat in the window and I watered it. A new leaf bracket appeared. And then a new stem appeared and the old stem sprouted.
Just look at it now. Five flowers out.
And stay tuned. There are at least five buds more.
Congratulations. It is beautiful. We had one that did nothing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Thank goodness you had the good sense to invite the neighbors for dinner.
