Orchid blossoms October 9, 2010

When we first moved in to our current house, Vince had on a whim bought some orchid plants. Subsequently they were neglected and forgotten. Against all odds they survived the hot season (even though their wilted stems are still very obvious).

Around some time last year I took up the care of these plants i.e. duly water them 2x a day, spray with fertilizer once a week. Sometimes when we were out of town I was unable to take care of them. That was when God stepped in with His heavenly rain- chocked full of nitrogen and rich with nutrients.

In this last month we have seen some of the plants begin to bud and flower. What a joy it is for me- even though I am such a hardcore flat-dweller and would be the last person to like plants! These orchids teach me such a precious lesson- God takes care of us better than anyone possibly can.
