FORTUNATELY I encounter a vast majority more dead orchids....

I think there's beauty in a graceful demise, but maybe that's just the japanese in me talking! I was brought up that it's bad luck for a flower to plop off in the height of its bloom, as it reminds people of a samurai beheading. Something about a samurai shouldn't grow camellias in his yard for that reason... superstition/folklore aside, this one faded beautifully and I was able to enjoy it even after its 'head' plopped off.

My mossiae has finally come to an end today.
