But this afternoon, as I was watering a spider plant on the table above the orchids, I suddenly notices buds poking out from between the spider plant leaves.........my orchid is going to bloom!!!!!!! Yeah! Must remember to continue the practice of ignoring them and just making sure there is a bit of water at the bottom of the container the pot sits in.
Boy, I do hope my father is looking down on them with a smile, as he used to grow them!
