Winter Miracle

Hello, My Friends!~~~

Last summer my wonderful neighbor, Molly, gave me an orchid that she no longer wanted. It had lovely blooms on it and I set in in a shady place of our back deck. The blooms eventually faded and dropped off leaving us with two green stems and some leaves. Not being an orchid expert I asked Suzy what to do with my now all green tropical plant. Her advice was to bring it indoors when the weather turned cold, give it a splash of water now and then, and to ignore it.

I did as she said and this was our reward...

Lots of buds and two flowers (although I am showing you one here)! Mr. Snowman is wondering what the heck is going on with this tropical beauty hovering over him. He'll have to adapt as I love this taste of summer in winter. I try not to admire it too much as Suzy said, "Ignore it."~~~XXOO, Beth
