A few weeks ago I wrote about an orchid plant (When I wasn’t looking an orchid bloomed). A few more posts about it followed.
The last orchid lagged. Last night it opened a little.
This morning it bloomed. They are all in bloom. Where once there were none, then five, now there are six.
Patience.
Three Orchids
Three orchids.
One blooming
One resting
One dying without hope.
I care for the two
But the the third,
Leaves still green
But curling,
What am I to do?
Note: As mentioned earlier, orchids have floated into my usually non-green world. I have begun learning how to reward the gift they give. They are, as experts say, and as is obvious, unusual plants. They rest for a while and, with proper care, will wake up more beautiful than ever.
But not always. And not forever.
