A Sunny Spot...

 

 

 

One of my favorite rooms in this house is near the kitchen. I guess it's technically a sitting room but it's become more of a sun room for me. It's has the most amazing windows that let the sun come in; even Emma will lay on the small, comfy couch and soak up some of those rays. It's also where i have most of my plants...i love to sit in this area and read.

As much as i love plants and flowers, there have been a few plants that i have stayed away from. At garden stores, some plants cower when i walk by, hoping that they won't be the next victim plant that i pick out to take home. My green thumb is covered by huge black spots which show how many plants i've killed with my attention haven't made it. But while in a store a few weeks ago, i spot these two amazing, beautiful plants that meet my strict criteria:

1. The plants were marked down from $24.99 to $4.99
2. They weren't dead yet

But they were Orchids. I've never bought these beautiful plants because, well, i had heard that they were difficult to grow. They were marked down, so, off the three (me and the two victims plants) go. Really, i thought to myself, how hard could it be? The plants both had the little card of directions attached....

I'm proud to say that the two Orchid plants are doing beautifully in their sunny spot. Both plants have bloomed new flowers that are stunning. So, for now, all is well with my two new friends. Maybe word will make it out to other plants that i haven't tried that i am not the plant-killer that i appear to be...
