new eyes

[SunnyBC]

Hi All - what an amazing site! It's late now and I have just registered but I will be back tomorrow to look around some more.
I am 44 years old, married, mother of 3 beautiful girls. I have always had houseplants and enjoyed the ambiance they added to our home. I never gave orchids a second thought however, until shortly after I was diagnosed with breast cancer last Febuary.........which amongst other things, caused me to look at the world with brand new eyes. The next time I saw an orchid - I believe it was at the local grocery store - I stopped and looked at the sheer simple beauty of it, and it was love at first site! I now own two, and am ready to absorb everything I can about them, and can see myself becoming a serious hobbyist. I welcome all thoughts and ramblings!
Peace and blessings - Sunny
