Abundance
The orchids in my friend’s window are abundant and there are even more buds on it. These flowers give a pleasant respite from the ice and snow and promises us that spring will arrive.

That is how I look at my orchids too. They are a reminder that warm weather will return. They bloom in December, the beginning of the long winter season.

Especially meaningful since this has been a wicked winter for so many. The other orchid has 11 buds on it!

This is very pretty and a nice composition also. I would love to try my hand at growing orchids. It would probably be a good idea to add some humidity to air in the house. It sure is dry in here!

My friend grows them well. I just take photos of them.

Yay! but I will not delude myself that it will come soon…although we are nearing the halfway point.
