A Sad, If Glorious, Good-bye

As I’ve mentioned before my orchids have had an infestation of mealiebugs. Before I started to treat or throw out the various pots I clipped the blooms off, put them in vases and took photos of them.

My take on Cee’s Photo:

I send my mates in to check on the territory and help with the set-up.

Of course, my nudibums couldn’t keep their clothes on

and made themselves comfortable.

In the end we managed to set up the shot.

And in case you are wondering from where my orchids get their beautiful colours, here is their secret: it’s lovingly handcrafted.

I never thought I’d have orchids, let alone so many. I’ve learned that the right place with the right light is most important to them. And so I am running out of space along their favourite window bank.

All my orchids are rescue orchids. A neighbour in our house discards them as soon as they have shed their first blooms and crams them in the communal garbage bins. I take them out, put them in nice pots and look after them. In turn they reward me with the most glorious blooms about twice a year.
