For the fourth year in a row, my Mother's Day orchid has suddenly sprouted a new shoot. It's very exciting. First, because it means I've actually been able to keep the thing alive for four years. And, second, because it's my first sign that spring is on its way!
It'll take a while, but I'll be able to see almost daily progress. The shoot will get about 18-inches tall and grow 6 to 8 buds that get to be about the size of quarters. Then they'll suddenly pop open into gorgeous bright pink flowers. It's fun to watch the process.
