Last Monday evening my neighbors Erika and Ingolf gave me a lovely orchid plant to thank me for the work I’ve done as President of our Condominium Association and to convince me to run for office again. Of course, I appreciated their gift and was very flattered by their support.
Since no one has ever before given me an orchid, I read the instructions carefully to make sure I took proper care of the plant. I do not have a “green thumb” as the saying goes and over the years I have killed more than my fair share of plants because I either over or under watered them. But I have high hopes that this beautiful orchid plant will last a long time. And the reason why is that the watering directions are very precise and easy to follow. But I must admit I was completely shocked when I read, “water with three ice cubes once a week.”
Well here’s hoping. Tomorrow I will place the three required ice cubes on my plant, for the first time. And then I’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
