Orchids teach patience... Those Cattleya seedlings grow fast compared to some... get a Dendrobium speciosum seedling of the same size and it may be 10 years or more... orchids don't do anything fast. But when they do, Oh baby!  |

I get a huge amount of pleasure watching plants grow. I don't fixate solely on their reproductive organs.

Gardening, to me is about nurturing and finding a balance in the cycles at play on the living things in my area. I can be in tune with the weather, aware of the bugs, compensating for the heat or lack of rain, and always listening (figuratively) as much as doing
I am not criticizing, but to me, focus on the flowers only is like missing 3/4 of the story

Buying just once is like eating one potato chip. Not going to happen. |

That would be like thinking you only need to wash your hands once a year. |
