Neglect!

Earlier in the year I was given an orchid.

Now, being about as competent at growing orchids as I would be hunting wilds pigs, I turned to the Oracle, Dr Google to see what he had to say in keeping orchids alive.

Apparently not much.

Hah! My specialty.

So I did exactly that and look what I woke up to yesterday morning.

Orchid flowers!
How cool are they ?

I have a whole new respect for orchids, not only are they a beautiful plant, but they're low maintenance.

I love a plant where doing very little can go a long way.

I just did a search on bonsai trees and this is what I got, 'Bonsai trees are graceful and beautiful, but can be intimidating to own. These trees have a reputation for being delicate and fussy'.

They sound like they're the supermodel of the plant world.

Give me an orchid any day.
