It’s not funny…but it is! My poor, poor orchid…and to think that I was so nervous about killing this flower…now look at it! Are you laughing as much as I am? I have it sitting right next to my computer and every time I look at it, I laugh. A few weeks ago, I sat my plant out on the porch to get a little bit of sunlight. But I was so neglectful because I forgot to bring it back in. Why did it have to get so cold that night, of all nights? I discovered my orchid the next day when I was checking my mail. Just the bottom blossom was wilted so I thought that it would be okay…I was wrong! I’m sorry to say that it died a slow death too. I wish that I had taken a picture of it before it died because it really grew a lot. I was taking good care of my orchid until I left it out all night but everything sort of went downhill after that. Thanks to everyone that gave me encouragement but evidently I have a black thumb instead of a green one. I’m not going to try again right now but next time I will definitely be getting something easy! The crazy thing is…it makes me laugh so much that now I wouldn’t want the flower any other way!
