Orchids

I am a huge lover of orchids, not that I live in the right climate, or that I have a lot of variety of orchids available.  For the longest time I would purchase them at various places, Wal-Mart or grocery store, with blooms, the blooms would fall off and then.....nothing.  That has all changed I am excited to say.  Apparently when it got really cold here, -40 type cold, the orchids went dormant and now are reblooming.  Super excited.  I need to do a little more research as I am keeping them by a window which gets the afternoon light but is still a little chilly.  When we went to Key West this past summer orchids were perched in the trees which was amazing. 



Another plant  has three shoots with buds on it so that one will be loaded.

Waiting for spring, getting seed and flower catalogs in the mail which makes you yearn for warmth and color.  Soon, I keep telling myself.

Knitting on a baby blanket.  My niece is having a little boy so I hope to get this done before he goes to college.  Should be able to it is an easy enough knit.  Will show a picture when it is done.
