My sneaky kitchen window

[Graehstone]

There isn’t a room in the house that doesn’t have any Orchids in it including the bathrooms, but it is the kitchen window that I actually pay the least amount of attention too.

That’s the one that my sweety takes care of before she goes to work in the morning (to take care of more Orchids, lol) and that’s the one that sneaks a bloom or two by me every now and then … But not this time, oooooh no, not this time, this time I paid attention (yep sure did) and even shot the little suckers.

Actually I tripped, on the little rug/throw doodmahicky with my coffee cup in one hand and thirty seven and a half cookies in the other, with my face going right towards the kitchen sink, when on the way down to the floor (didn’t want to spill the coffee and make a mess that I had to clean up afterwards so I chucked everything into the sink and didn’t want to drop the cookies so I stuffed them all into my mouth) I happened to look up and see a little flash of color. “Color,” I was thinking to myself “I don’t remember having anything blooming that has color in the window.” “I’ll have to take a picture.”

Thud, I’d arrived on the floor.

“Ah, there’s that little (looking surreptitiously around) little … thingy … I was …” When I realized that no one other than me was at home and did not see my, graceful as ever, descent towards the floor.

So after a little shoveling of crumbs into the corners and a bit of dabbing at droplets, I went and got the camera and took these.

... and this next one I had to turn around to take the picture. It's a ... a ... (what did she call it .. Sofa-nitwit-titus something or other, lol) Edited to add name: Sophronitis Cernua

 

... oh and the windows aren't filthy, it's just raining here for the first time in a long time again. :blushing:

Hope you enjoyed reliving my morning with me and hope that the rest of the week treats everyone well.<br><br>Post edited by: Graehstone, at: 2008/05/20 17:34

Your orchids are absolutely gorgeous, I just love them and you have them all over the house, even in the bathroom, wow, I only have 4 total plants and they are in my family room where the light is the brightest.

 

I enjoyed reliving your morning immensely and feel free to relive more mornings with more orchid photos if you want, please:kiss:

Beautiful. I always imagined orchids would be hard to take care of, so I never tried it. Have my hands full with birds, dogs, myself and an overgrown boy of a boyfriend.

Thanks for sharing with the rest of us.
