There is an orchid plant in the corner of my office. When I bought it it was full of purple flowers. I cared for it without fuss, watered it when dry. As orchids will, it dropped the flowers a long time ago, while the plant continued growing. Being where it is I don’t pay close attention, even when watering. You might say mindlessly. This morning I looked more closely and saw not just a bunch of new buds but full orchid flowers. That is how it is.
