Ardith's Orchid...

One of the items I brought home with me from Ardith's house after she died was an orchid. It was not blooming at the time, didn't even have buds showing. I didn't have much hope that it would in fact bloom under my care, but I couldn't leave it behind. Ardith loved orchids and had wonderful luck with them. I love orchids too, but once the original blooms die, I never get them to survive long enough to bloom again next season. It's a bit of a miracle, or perhaps Ardith's spirit, that the orchid I brought home from her house is blooming magnificently. It's a beautiful daily reminder of the one I miss so much...
