Isn't it great to have flowers like that in the winter?

So lovely. I do love having them in the winter when every thing else is dry and dead. At least the house looks pretty.

Did you get that kaoda Twinkle from Hausermann? I know i saw one like that on there sight once and I do love the all white lip.

Yes, having blooms this time of year is a blessing. It has been a rough start to 2016. On Jan. 25th. we found out I was miscarrying our child. The baby's heart stopped on the 15th of Jan. Then my daughter miscarried her son on Jan. 31st. So we went from a "Father of the Bride 2" moment full of wonderful expectation to one of extreme sadness. The white NOID Phal. began blooming in my waiting period for a natural miscarriage. It has been of beautiful symbol of the purity and innocence of our babies in Heaven. This was the first year for a double spike on the plant.

Yes, I did purchase it from Hausermann. I saw it listed elsewhere as being fragrant. Hausermann had a better price so I ordered from them even though they did not mention it being fragrant. It does not have a detectable scent to me. I have checked at all hours day and night, to no avail. The flowers a very pretty though, so I am happy.

I cant say anything that will make the pain go away, I hope you and your family are taking care of eachother in this sad and hard time.

Thank you. We are healing. It has been hardest on my daughter. This was her first child. It was our 3rd loss (no less important, but easier to cope with due to experience). We have the comfort of knowing they are together and are not alone.
