Picture of the Day - Orchids' A-Bloomin'  

Posted by Lisa in , ,

Before my parents had their stuff shipped out, they convinced me to take in two of their (many) plants. They'd originally wanted me to take all of them, but I figured that wasn't a good idea, considering how I would be gone for semi-long periods of time (winter & summer vacation) in which there'd be no water for the plants. So, not wanting to kill ALL of them, I took two home-less plants in, one of which is the orchid pictured. And the buds have bloomed! Two of the five, anyway. They're quite pretty. :) Hopefully the rest will bloom as well, and this orchid will have a long life (unlike the one my roomie tried to raise back in LA).

On another note, I tried to take pictures of my room, but I realized how messy and disordered it is currently. There's clothes hanging all over the place because my mom has no closet space (yes, it's filled with all my stuff, but it's not a very big closet at all!), so she has to utilize random hanging places in the room. :P So, wait for it ... the pictures will be up soon enough.

i knooow. with the death of the orchid back in LA I was really afraid of taking this one on. Guess we'll just have to see how it fares through the cold cold cold winter here.
