I will like to share and hear how your love for Orchids started it?

Since I moved to United States (12 years ago ) and have my own place I always have orchids in the house just for the flowers, that I bought in HD after they finished flowering I will put it under a tree on the yard and forget about them to my wonderful surprise they will rebloom without much care :that bright: and then I start paying more attention and learning a little bit more about them

My Dad had a nice garden at his house in our country Venezuela and had some orchids in it. When he got diagnosed with cancer and got really sick I started taking care of his garden. Since he got diagnosed to the time he died was only 7 months, it was very fast and extremely sad. He was very young he died at 57 years old. Since then orchids have been my way of healing and passion, I can see and feel him in every bloom and all the time that I spent with my plants I can feel his presence...
