Beginning

This was His suggestion to take a photo of a bud to represent beginning. There are a few out in the garden, but it's so wet out there I decided to use my orchid.

This plant was a leaving present when I quit teaching from one of my tutor group, and surprisingly after 3 years it is still alive. I fear you will be watching its blossoming progress over the coming weeks

I too, have a very special orchid that I am trying to keep going. It has flowered three times so far and am watching it very carefully! Looking forward to following your success and will be keeping an eye on mine at the same time! Great POV
