Alive. Very very alive. Not dead. Not even a little bit dead. One might even be tempted to say thriving (should one be a tempt the fates sort of person, which I am not).
What is this miraculous undead object you ask?
Why, it's this -
This gorgeous orchid was given to me on Passover by a dear friend who is probably the only person who knows me well who didn't believe that I have the dubious talent of being capable of killing even plastic plants, the only one who didn't believe that every live plant that enters my home ends up keeling over dead just in self-defense!
She didn't just gift me with this thing, this stunning orchid is one she raised herself with her very own hands and is only the second one she has ever given away.
This is a lot of pressure to put on a self-declared plant murderer.
(She said she knew that even if I did manage to kill it that at least she knew it would be well photographed before it's demise. I've managed to keep it alive for several weeks already so I figured I'd better pull out the camera quickly before something happened to it.)
I've been quaking in my crocs (really in my flip-flops but that didn't rhyme) but at least so far it is absolutely, positively, very very much not dead.
It's even got a new blossom that just opened up! Go me!
(quickly spits three times and throws salt over her left shoulder to avoid upsetting the fates or angering the plant gods...)
So what do you think? Not half bad hey?
