Breaking the Ice, As instructed =D
Hello,
I am mom to 6 kitchen countertop orchids - all phals. Though I had absolutely zero interest in orchids, a friend gave me a lush, healthy, beautiful one as a housewarming gift in 2019. I was able to keep it healthy enough and fell in love with the beauty of it, so when I had the opportunity to rescue a couple more bedraggled, dying orchids, I jumped at it. They became very healthy (no blooms, though), and three was plenty for my counter, but someone gave my m-in-law a small one for her birthday, and then later that month, I fell and broke my hip, and the same person gave me a huge one. By now, my husband was complaining about the takeover of the workspace in our kitchen, but what can you do? =)
Then, this past May, my mother-in-law had a medical problem, and the same friend gave her ANOTHER big orchid, bringing our total to 6, all of which I am the primary caregiver of...
(We have now politely informed that friend, NO MORE, PLEASE! =D )
