Quilters know everything


Several months ago, I bought an orchid, just to enjoy the beauty, and because it was a reasonable price, about 9 Euro. I enjoyed the bloom for a much longer time than I would have enjoyed cut flowers, but I didn't expect it would bloom again, because I've never had any luck with that sort of thing.
Well, one day I was visiting a quilting buddy, and commented on her many gorgeous orchids. I mentioned that I was about to throw mine away, because in all these months, it had never given the slightest indication that it would bloom again.
But Billa said, "just be patient - you'll be surprised."
And I was! After waiting yet one more month, a single bud appeared, followed by several others. Now I've got 2 gorgeous new blooms, and three more waiting to open. Yay!!
