Getting Close ..
Pepper’s sympathy orchid is preparing to bloom. we’ve been waiting quite a while for a new flower spike to form, and we recently got that wish. Spike has grown over the weeks and the buds have developed nicely. I noticed this morning that one of the buds is starting to crack open a little bit so it shouldn’t be long before the flower fully opens.
Its been a good long while… since this Phaleanopsis orchid has bloomed. I would wager guess and say two years, although I would have to dig back through my photos to find out for sure. This one, like so many others in my collection, suffered, when I decided to change the planting media from bark to Laverock. I have sent back and this orchid has recovered the best.
It doesn’t surprise me that it’s doing so well .. After all, it is peppers orchid! He was always such a curious dog, interested in anything that he couldn’t eat, pee on, or play with. He would often want to take a ride with me in the morning to grab of coffee, or Quiktrip to the store, or I would occasionally purchase a new Phaleanopsis orchid.
We miss Pepper, as well as Molly, very dearly. We can’t wait to see all these flower buds open in pure white. Nice little memory, and reminder of what a great dog he was. What a great friend he was to us.
Thank you for swinging by my blog and checking out the post. Have a great day!
