The Orchid Blooms!

I'm working on some finishes, so I hope to have some quilty stuff to show soon. But in the mean time I thought I'd document that the Orchid is blooming! It was actually given to Heather as a gift a while back, but she has left it in the kitchen so I think I've inherited it. I used to be really into raising African Violets, and had a bunch of them but after some time I let that go, so I've enjoyed having the Orchid around lately. So far the cat has not gnawed on the leaves at all, so that's a good sign.

It may not ever bloom again for me, so this could be quite an event! I'm actually taking more delight in this than I thought I would, so maybe that means I need to get a couple of African Violets again :)

Enjoy the day!

I've also been thinking about adding some African Violets back to my kitchen. Beautiful orchid.

I think it means you need some orchids. Once you have found their "happy spot" you have blooms for weeks, not days.....

No, I didnt give it to you, I just dont have any surfaces in my room for it to live on. But maybe when I move out, I'll leave it there to remind you that you still have an eldest daughter... :P

That is a beautiful orchid.

I love African Violets too. I hope you get some more soon.
