Today I Am Mostly…
…watching things unfurl
It is ridiculous how excited I am that last year’s orchid has taken it upon itself to bloom again. My orchids never ever ever rebloom despite a lot of cajoling. It has been overwintering in our bathroom and of course I have no idea what triggered it off this time.
If you’re not a green fingered orchid growing genius such as myself (ha ha!) then you may want to take a look at this comment thread on Shelterrific, which has loads of wonderful orchid advice.
For advice as to whether orchids have any place in interior decorating at all, I refer you to Decorno here.
And I can’t work out whether I like these Boskke sky planters available from Velocity – (I think I’m coming down on the side of ‘like’).
The images, from Sunset magazine, sure are pretty though.
Oh so pretty! I nearly killed my orchid by overwatering it. It's currently in Orchid hospital in my hallway :)

Charlotte, I know exactly where you keep your orchid :)(which makes me sound very stalkerish).
I'm still jealous of that photo you took of your orchid blooming a couple of years back...
Liz, maybe you should move Orchid Hospital to the bathroom..
