So very true. In all my hundreds of plants, every new growth is a celebration of the partnership we share.
It's one of the things that is hardest to explain to friends that don't have orchids. There is such a sense of profound accomplishment and pride (in both yourself and your plant!) when you see everyone's hard work paying off.
I think some growers forget that a lot of the work being put in is from the plant, not just the grower- so it's a personal success for them as well!
Unlike a lot of our terrestrial garden and bedding plants, these guys have to defy the odds and sort out how to thrive in environments that are often entirely different from how they are programmed to grow in. They adapt and figure it out- and everyone is rewarded!
