You win some you lose some. I was awfully fond of that plant. I think I need another Orchid to cheer myself up.
It's hard to loose a plant that you've had for so long. I'd feel just awful if I lost my Oxalis.
I think an orchid would be just the pick me up you need! After all...you have an empty spot now where the violet was sitting. You can fill it with an orchid and your boy friend might never notice the change!
