While living in Malibu, there was magic in the air around my orchids. Each one bloomed vociferously, each being a star birther of blossoms that lasted for years.
Not so in Long Beach. I have no idea why, as the light is comparable here, I am near the sea and so the air should be similar, my own vibe is ever full of wonderment and appreciation, but no.
HOWEVER I have one lingering blossom on one plant that has not only not surrendered to becoming translucent and wafting off, but she is determined to remain vital, vibrant, and to arrange herself according to her plan, not mine.
She has been sitting outside on a tea table for months, and I regularly..at least I USED to… position her so that she could reach for the sun. Every single day she repositioned herself so that she was facing yonder palm tree.
There is no explanation for this other than the simple fact that she is in love.
Bless her little heart and more power to her!
