The Orchid Orphanage

It started when I bought a couple of white phaelanopsis orchids at Ikea and mentioned this in passing to a friend.

Friend: "Ah, maybe you'd like to take my orchid! It never blooms." It turned out a number of friends were having bad luck with orchids.

Next thing I knew, i had a windowsill full of orphan orchids. I checked out a book from the library on how to take care of them. It took about a year, but they finally all bloomed.
