"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"

« New Project: Orchids »

Orchids are the guests' gift of choice when coming my dad's house for dinner or a bbq. At least once a month a new grocery store plant pops up in the kitchen with a note attached to one of the dragonfly hair clips. Maybe it's a Persian thing? The problem is, though, that they are nice for a few weeks, and then they inevitably die from overwatering, neglect, or a plastic pot with no drainage holes. Sometimes they even disappear before they die.

I have decided that this is going to stop.
No more orchids will die or disappear on my watch!
Unless I can't figure out how to save them.

My mom, a self-taught orchid specialist, recommended that I check out rePotme's supplies and care videos to help me save the current patient. I can't wait to get to work! More to come on this new challenge...
