…but my birthday orchid (thanks, Drea!) from 2008 is thriving! I’ve posted a couple times (here and here) on how I was waiting for it to bloom, and now almost every single bud has opened up! And this has happened in just a month!!! I’ve been keeping him (her?) in the bathroom and I love walking in every day and seeing the gorgeous blooms in the window! I think the little guy loves his steamy home there.
The secret is patience. I didn’t mind having a pot with just leaves in it all winter. I waited and waited and waited for it to re-grow a stem, because I got a tip to cut the old stem at the base and I guess it worked!
Isn’t she (he?) GORGEOUS! I think I need at least 9 more of these all over my house…

About Me
I'm an interior designer and a draftsperson, but I live in the country. I like it that way. I'm also a firefighter's wife, mom to 2 cute kids, and a homeowner and I like that even better. But right after that is a pretty and affordable space...and I mean a REALLY affordable space. Because I believe good design can be for EVERYONE!

Beautiful!
Just lovely, so beautiful
‘Tis very gorgeous. I’d love to have an orchid, or some indoor plant like Cyclamen, but it’s winter here in Sydney, and I love my heater more. They wouldn’t survive a week in my house since I try to keep it toasty warm inside during these cold days.
I have always wondered how “real” orchids are to care for. Maybe I will try one and put it in the bathroom!
It looks so beautiful.
