A Blog by Chicken Wrangler Sara
The orchid I was given as a secret pal gift at the beginning of the year got knocked off the counter and the stalk broke. I was more upset than I should have been and had to remind myself that it is just a plant – a plant that makes me smile.
I gently reattached the broken stalk and hoped for the best. Months later it is blooming again.
I think it needs a bigger pot but I have been told to leave it alone while it is blooming. Apparently orchids are very delicate. That makes the fact that mine has persevered through the broken stalk even more amazing.
Perhaps I can learn from my orchid and persevere through the end of the school year. And as long as my orchid is blooming, I can do it with a smile.
