Recently while tidying up my greenhouse I noticed that one of the orchids was growing a flower stalk. The had been sitting in there for probably about a year with almost absolute neglect by me. The photo below shows them tucked into the corner of the greenhouse, shabby as can be.
I had really not much interest in orchids, but maybe its because this has never happened for me before. But now that I know I can just put them away after the blooms fade, and bring them in again at the sight of a flower stalk, I definitely will not be throwing any away!
Gorgeous!

Orchids always do that, don't they? They'll die on you if you pamper them and then flourish when you neglect them. Looks like they have a masochist streak in them! :D
