Orchid lady

It looks like my orchid is happy to see me....

It's been more than five months since my pretty pink orchid Pollyanna lost her blooms... but she's finally sending up another bloom stem. Persephone the white orchid isn't doing as well (her leaves are a little limp) but she's still alive, so I'm holding out hope.

And I the other day, I brought a new one home

This is Penelope.

She's pretty showy, and I love her.

And look...

It has no flowers left, but my Poinsettia is looking pretty good. I've put her outside on the patio table for the summer. She seems to love it. I have a coworker from Mexico an she says they grow in the ditches there - so I think she's going to enjoy a nice hot summer in the sun.
