When we were out of town we pass by this huge orchidarium. It has so many flowers in it, we stopped by and see. I am so overwhelmed with the quantity of flowers in different colors. there were purple, there were yellow, there were also red. My mom used to tell me that her therapy were flowers. When she goes thru her separation with my dad, she find strength in flowers. She care for orchids and really love them. My mom has a green thumb and can practically grew anything. MY dream for her is one day I can provide her a big lot where sh can grow a lot of orchids. I know this would make her really really happy. Do you like flowers too?

A lonely garden - A portion of my garden after we've rebuilt it. Very few orchids were left and all flowers were destroyed by flood.Even the Bermudas have been washed out by flood. What is a garden if there are no orchids. The orchids are the princesses of my garden but they were gone! Hu!hu!hu!
That is also my dream! How lucky could your mother be if your dream for her will come true. I also want to have a bigger garden for my plants and the dominant plants there would be orchids. I love orchids. I spent lots of money in buying orchids before. There was a time when our old house was surrounded with orchids that I bought from different places. But something happened. Suddenly, our place became prone to flood which was never before. Then there was the biggest flood in our place and oh my garden was messed up with flood and even our house was. It was terrible. After the flood my house was full of mud and oh very very thick and how much more more garden got the biggest destruction. Most of my orchids were destroyed and very few were left. It took us so many days to rehabilitate the place. We then decided to elevate our house to avoid the flood again. So we build a new house and the remaining orchids were again destroyed because of the construction. Now we have a new elevated house. Free from flood but my orchids were gone. Now I am again starting from scratch but at least I am so happy now that I have rebuilt my new garden. It is smaller because I cannot manage anymore a bigger one. Now I am happier that I've already bought new orchids and colors are back in my garden. It is more colorful and brighter now unlike the photo below.

So your mother does have a green thumb. Ohhh the orchids were wasted. Your grandmother did not know that those orchids need some attention only your mother knows. Gintong Talutot, yes I have purchased a lot orchids there before. I wish I can go there again. Thanks you for reminding me of that place.

Hi pehpot, notice my avatar and my username? I definitely love roses, particularly, red ones, cos that color is my most favorite of all rose colors. Traviata is the type of rose that is my most favorite. :)

In addendum, red traviata's one of my weaknesses. I don't really know why.

I really like flowers as well, I like to look at them, somehow, when I see flowers I feel relaxed and quite lift my mood too, kinda refreshing to see them. In our house, my mother have a different kinds of orchids, it was truly great to see them in full bloom, quite help beautify our house with their different colors. There are times that I am quite content to just look at them, so relaxing and serene to look at them.

Flowers are nice. They are natures artwork. The colors can make us feel good. I don't have a green thumb. THe flowers in my home are usually bought for me by my hubby. But even that can put a smile on my face.

i love flowers... i love roses, sunflowers and tulips.. unfortunately, i don't have a garden(or even a small landscape) here in my flat.. But still, i get to enjoy flowers because hubby gives me a dozen of (red and white)roses every year. =)
