4 of 365 Orchid Beginnings

Only 361 photos to go....
sigh....
Last April when my Dad passed away a co-worker gave me a beautiful orchid. Her thoughtfulness and kindness was such a blessing to me during a hard time. It bloomed for over a month and then the flowers faded. I followed the instructions carefully but no new blooms - not even an inkling of a new stem. I watered and fertilized it now and then when I remembered.
Last week I noticed a new stem coming out of the old dried stem with 5 maybe even 6 wee buds. I was pretty happy. It should be in full bloom by Dad's birthday on February 13th. I am blessed again.

So follow along with me as I photograph this reminder of a wonderful man.
