I love gardening. It’s like a break time from the mundane daily routine especially when I am all day and night mothering my son. It surprises you, in the sense that sometimes the plants you nurture with love and care everyday suddenly blooms their best on day you least expect to see. Even when you are out of hope or not hoping at all, plants never fail to cheer up my day.
Each day I cherish the time I get to water my plants, and check whether there’s something that need my attention, like pruning some dying leaves or pull out weeds in the ceramic pot. On day that I have more time, I take the chance to fertilize them.
I guess in the bigger picture, gardening is like the relationship you have with people. You need to pay attention when the needs for nurture and care arise. You have to make time for it to work no matter how caught up with life you seem to be. Otherwise even the best rosy relationship will wither.

I like gardening too, used to be our weekend work out years ago. Hubby taking care of his green grass while plants are under my “department”. After moving to Shanghai due to work, not much plants I can keep in our tiny aprtment. Hope someday I can get back to gardening and plant orchid like yours!
Happy gardening! 🙂
