Bad Hair Day

I call these my “bad hair day orchids.”




Everybody has had a bad hair day, a day when you just feel like a mess. I had several of those last week, plus I didn’t feel well. The upshot is that no Friday flowers got sent out. I went home Friday totally exhausted.



Then I come out of my front door on Saturday morning and here are these orchids sprawled all over everywhere. The lavender ones were actually sitting on a bench and not even noticeable. I picked them up and put them on the porch rail behind the white ones, and this is what I got. If you look at the upper left of the photo, you will see another pinkish orchid just in bloom. It’s attached to a coconut palm and is not the same as the lavender ones.



So, even though I do not know the names of any of these orchids, they will henceforth be called my bad hair day orchids. I thank them for showing me that even when I feel like a mess, with the right arrangement and viewpoint, I can look and feel better.
