I have a secret to share… lean in closely since I don’t want to say this too loudly and jinx it.  I have an orchid in my kitchen near the sink by the window and it looks so great!  Big deal you’re thinking, I am sure.  Let me say now that I have a “black thumb” really, I am not exaggerating at all.  I have the gift for killing all things green that enter my home- except for this orchid!  It has been living here with us for two plus weeks and it still looks great, and it even opened another bloom since being here with me.  I know it’s crazy, even I don’t understand it but this flower is thriving and it makes me happy every day when I see it!

Where did I get this amazing orchid you ask?  From Ginny’s Orchids no less!  Ginny’s Orchids is a Winter Park Farmers Market regular and when Jamie and I were at the market a few weeks ago (check out the pictures here) we had the great opportunity to photograph these flowers.  They have the most beautiful orchids imaginable in all sorts of cool and interesting arrangements!  Really if you want an amazing gift check them out…

proof that there is a living plant in my home!
