First-World Problems...

SYMMETRY!

Why is the world so unfair?

There should be four on each side of the stem, and no amount of "But the Fibonacci Series!" will convince me that this is a cruel and heartless trick on the part of a supposed benign and loving earth.

Seriously...that orchid was a gift awhile back, and after the flowers dropped off I sort of halfheartedly watered in in the forlorn hope that maybe, against all odds, I could get the damned thing to bloom again.

And I even read a bit about how to get orchids to bloom! And that is decidedly uncharacteristic of me. Apparently repotting and feeding is the way to go.

Who knew?

But it worked. Well...on one of them. The other one is a wilted and dry husk without a hint of green, but damn it! The little f*cker is going to bloom.
