I've always thought there was a kind of hard-to-rear aura about orchids. Goodness knows how many people I've seen kill them – with the exception of my AhGong, who had a bonafide green thumb. (He used to buy those non-blooming orchids for cheap, get them to re-bloom and gift them to friends. His secrets: misting the plant daily and talking to it.) Anyway these are the beauties that Drew bought me for Valentines. I thought I should take a picture before they died. :) Interestingly, this particular plant's instructions advocate
watering with ice cubes once a week, and you can even sign up for reminders. Today was my first reminder, so we'll see.
