I don’t consider myself someone who possesses a ‘green thumb’; then again, a miracle of sorts happened this week. The above picture is that of my orchid plant. I’ve had it for years. About three years ago it bloomed so beautifully for about a month. The petals would drop off, and a new ‘spike’ would appear, and the blooming would begin once again.
And then………………………………..nothing. Not a petal, not an inkling of anything resembling a purple flower whatsoever. That was until a week ago. All of a sudden my orchid decided it was time to amp up the color and the tiny little buds appeared. I absolutely love the flowers! Purple is my favorite color, and these shades are spectacular.
Cool surprises can happen! I hope your Friday is filled with lovely unexpected cool ‘blooms’!
Thon’s a michty flooer, lassie. Nice pic 😘

Just one of mine did that (I had three inherited from a friend) the other two were a little more regular!

I did have three for several years, but I couldn’t bring them to Canada, so now my mum has them. They seem to be doing even better under her care!!
