Thoughtful Orchid

Thoughtful Orchid

This cymbidium usually blooms, like clockwork, around the first week in March. It’s been doing so since my father died the first week in March thirteen years ago.
This year it held off till March 20th, which had me puzzled until I remembered March 20th marked the first year anniversary of the passing of David’s father.
Orchids are thoughtful - as are the friends that first gave me this particular beauty some thirteen years ago in early March.
