So I took my beautiful white orchid home and it looked beautiful. I was told the name for it was 'POP CORN ORCHID' of course the real name is 'PHALAENOPSIS' which is the most widely sold and bought.
Gosh, I was so proud of myself. I thought look at the money I am going to save, this is going to last months and I can stop going every week to the flower market, buying flowers, spending time trying out different arrangements, and the worst part, changing the water every couple of days to keep the flowers fresh.
Ha Ha - ... but no one told me that I would now start looking for more orchids of different varities, and the pots to put them in the minute my orchid blooms died. But I had great hopes that it would bloom again (as I was told) so now, I went looking for flower shops that specialized in orchids and tropical plants. My Saturdays were consumed with this search and I found many in the L.A. area - Los Angeles what does not grow there? Perfect weather for tropical plants.
Suddenly I had 6 orchids of different varities and they were all beautiful. Now I am thinking, who is going to take care of this so I discussed with a friend who told me they knew a person who would come once a week and take care of them. An answer to my prayer.
So I hired her.
