You have ended my day with a warm smile...how lovely was that?  Thank you, Eileen |

Slowly awakening
Peaking out from behind some leaves
Inconspicuously dressed in a plain, green sheath
Stretching towards the heavens
Growing, changing
Wrapped up in a muted coat
Not quite ready to show the world
The days pass
It is now time
Quietly her beauty is unveiled
One of God’s miracles
An orchid in full bloom!

Okay, you guys! If I can go out on a limb with this (no pun intended!), so can you!
Lets see some more poems and funny stuff!!
I dare ya! 
Ode to an Orchid
Please bloom
My lovely orchid
Amaze me with your finery
Dazzle me with your colors
Please?!
Pretty please!
Okay, fine
Into the corner you go
Alone and neglected
What?
What is this?
Sure, now you bloom!! |

It is too true, Phal Gal. That is why it is so funny! Alas, they do as they like, not what pleases us. So when they bloom, we are enraptured. We were already over the edge. |
