Indoor Gardening Thursday


::meoww::

Dad enjoys orchids and we usually have one plant in the house.     Usually the plant is purchased with flowers on it and once the flowers are over it has not always been easy to get the plant to produce another set of flowers.   Dad has nurtured and tended this plant all through the winter, without any flowers, and now it has three stems of buds, and the first bud has opened up.    Great excitement here!!



(The small blue item in the pot is a glass decorative dragonfly).

  1. Wow - that is a gorgeous plant. M said she's always wanted to try one of those, but she knows our house doesn't get enough light. She'll just have to enjoy your pictures.

  4. Wow, your dad is good! Orchids are fussy, or so we've been told. Our human would probably kill it within a week, possibly less. LOL.

    We have a long Easter weekend here, so will wish you all a very happy Easter now! We hope the Easter Bunny brings yummy treats!
