Before you give up

Orchid, May 2021


This orchid has been living in my kitchen window almost 2 years. I water it when I remember. For the longest time, it's only been the green leaves. I thought it might be time to give up and let it go. I thought that maybe orchids are not the plants for me. I picked up the pot and turned it around- that's when I saw it. A new stem of tiny buds forming on the side that had been facing the window. I had completely missed them. I had almost given up, then it bloomed.
