When is spring coming...?



As I sip my morning coffee and watch the swirling of another mini blizzard with winds to match, I wonder if the weather will ever lighten up. I'm afraid to venture out with the winds so strong for fear of being blown over. And I have things to do out there. My only consolation is the blooming of my miniature orchid. This year there are 2 extra buds despite the plant being so pot-bound. There's nothing like a blooming flower to remind one of kinder, gentler days.

Spectacular bloom. Such a harbinger of spring. I plan to meet you when the climes are kinder. Stay indoors, it's bloody freezing today!

Leslie is right. What a spectacular bloom. What I love about orchids is that you think they're kaput and then all of a sudden they come back better than ever.

What a lovely bloom! Orchids just keeps calling out to me to be bought. I think I finally got the hang of it - taking care them, that is. I haven't killed one in six months or more. If anything, they are finally blooming on me.

What a beautiful orchid! They are my MIL's favourite and last year we bought her one, but alas she couldn't keep it alive. Yours is so lovely :-)
