Two nights ago while at the grocery store we walked past a big display of orchids with a hand written sign saying “Orchids 2 for $10”. I normally don’t buy orchids from stores that don’t specialize in orchids because they always have root rot, but at $5 each I was jumping up and down clapping my hands like an idiot about the flowers that would soon grace my room. I got extra lucky and actually found one orchid that was bone dry with great roots. I have high hopes that the little orchid with the tiny violet flowers will live YAY!! Tonight my husband surprised me with these peach roses. I figured I ought to take a family flower photo before they die. Their names are “Violet Orchid Noodles”, “Root Rot striped Noodles”, and “Rose Noodles” 😀
