A new month....

Happy March 1 to everyone!

Just a bit of a "leftover" from February:

A Valentine's Day gift from The Husband!

This orchid was a real surprise!  I've never had one of these before!  It requires some special care - three ice cubes once a week!  I haven't killed it yet!  Perhaps there is hope for me!:-)

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate your comments.

  11. LOL- When my daughter got orchids I thought she had bought fake flowers because she had killed every other plant she ever had. She has REALLY good luck with them. Yours is gorgeous AND don't use the ice cubes from your whiskey sour on them!;>) lol xo Diana

  13. And the ice cubes really work I gave one to my friend when her boyfriend passed away 2 years ago and it's still going strong!

  15. Your orchid is beautiful. Good luck caring for it. I never tried to grow them. I stick with the plants that can take watering neglect usually.
    Happy weekend,
