I can't grow or keep plants alive no matter how hard I try. I've been successful very few times in my life and eventually forget about them, water them too much, they get bugs, etc... and they end up in the trash. Proud, no. But sometimes you have to face the facts.
Even with my not-so-stellar record, that never stops me from stalking the orchid display at Trader Joes. I'm always on the hunt for a plant loaded with flowers and buds. A week ago, I spotted a beauty. One flower stalk? Psh. Try 4. And amazingly all the buds are blooming. Even the ones at the very tips. How long said plant will live? Who knows. But for a few weeks anyway, it'll serve it's purpose and look gorg next to the tv.
