In the past he's bought me roses for Valentine's Day, but this year I woke up to find a new Odcdm. Catatante 'Orange Kiss' waiting for me on the kitchen counter. He even apparently looked through the available plants for one that seemed like it had healthy roots!
I'm a little worried that it has to join the "cross my fingers and hope the temperature doesn't get too high" oncidium row on the kitchen passthrough with Lady Chatterly and Mystic Maze, but it is certainly lovely. I'm also impressed that this orchid, bought at Safeway, came not only with a label as to what it is, but with a tag giving some common-sense care information about light, watering, etc. (The grower is "Hawaiian Tropicals Direct", on the Big Island, whom I applaud for that effort!)
Aw, my husband is enabling my orchid obsession!
