My better half is more patient and caring than I. She can nurture and provide care to living things that I am certain of. Take for example this orchid. We got it a few years back when it had an amazing purple blossom. Or two.
Looked spectacular. Did not know till I researched it but among flowering plants the Orchid family after the sunflower family has the largest species of plants. Over 20,000 of them.
We have a type of Dendrobium since it seems to like the eastern sun and also survived with care and water over a year or more.
Then over a period of weeks the flowers dried and fell off.
What was left was this plant with large deep green waxy leaves with no flowers.
Today it bloomed again. Not quite full on yet but five buds appeared and are headed for opening night.
It will be a great burst of color when that happens.
