I make things grow with my Sparkly Daughter Magic.

My mother thought this orchid was dead. I’ve been nursing it back to green since September, and a few weeks ago, my patience was rewarded with several clusters of fat green buds. I was sooooo thrilled.  Here’s what they looked like:

My mother ceremoniously handed over the care-taking of the orchids to me shortly after the appearance of the buds.  I know it doesn’t sound like much, but mom is no joke about her plants, so it meant a lot. Like, she’s given me power of attorney and her safe deposit box/insurance policy info with less solemnity and hesitation. My family’s so weird.  Anyway, here’s the first flowering:

And blossoms! *Fiqah happy dance*

Happy spring to you!
