Orchid

Day 118

16th September 2009

My mum gave me this orchid flower, today, so I thought I'd photograph it.

I always get a bit nervous if anyone gives me a plant - I am rubbish at looking after them. I think it's because they just sit quietly in the corner of a room and don't complain or cry if I haven't fed it for a while. They also don't talk, so I don't necessarily know if it needs a drink or some food.

Having said that, I have a money plant that looks healthy; and a baby aloe vera plant that sprouted a baby of its own, which has been repotted. They are both doing nicely, despite my daughter giving them apple juice by mistake a couple of weeks ago.
