never
in spite of all efforts
have i been able
to keep an orchid alive
somehow
in spite of a pot cracked
on the very first day
and
fingers crossed
trying to care for it
this tiny orchid
has survived
even thrived.
a surprise new flower emerges.

I like your dedication….. Being probably the only person worldwide who is NOT liking orchids. When I was staying a while in Canada and travelled the USA, I saw ‘wild growing’ orchids climbing over trees, hanging from branches – and since then I can’t see them any longer. So, no love from me but admiration for you.

i really did nothing but hope and add a small amount of water once in a while. the rest was up to the orchid, and it thrived on it’s own.

Orchids are. Temperamental right? Just when I give up a new bit will sprout! Have a great day Beth.

I think to much love can kill them as too little. A bit of indifference and they thrive.

Nature survives despite my best efforts….that is how I usually react to plants and flowers…no matter what I do, I seem to have the “Anti-green thumb.” I have not stopped trying, however, and for some reason one plant is now thriving – I don’t know what I’m doing right, but I just keep doing it

Once an orchid realizes you have her best interest at heart, she will love you. I water my orchids with one-half of a shot glass every three weeks. They are thankful land last for several months. Keep on lovin’ the beautiful fairy creatures….
