An orchid named Alex

[Carol Dee]

It is VERY sad.Only one bloom on it. One branch was broken off just above the blooms, I did not notice. SO I hope the other shoot will put on new growth and give me more flowers someday.

It. I didn't assign Alex a gender. I just brought that beautiful plant into my home and my life thanks to your generosity. I suspect I'll need to get another orchid soon.

Alex, aka Alexis, is a past student of mine. She went by the name Alex except when her Grandmother spoke to her.

In school when a teacher called me Alexander I knew I was in trouble

At home it is using the middle name that signals you've gone too far.

My Gypsy never had a nick name. She was shocked when her 2nd grade teacher called her Gypsy Magnolia. She knew she was in trouble, too. (I ratted to the teacher)

I mentioned that I returned home from Washington DC to find my orchid (ala Alex) in flower. The other orchid I'd purchased was ready to flower as well.

Well, imagine my surprise Saturday when I spotted a third orchid beside the other two. Alex and Aubrey messing around? Nope, on Mother's Day I was told son and family had purchased two new orchids for my growing collection. One large and beautiful, looking for all I can tell like a cross between orchid #1 and orchid #2 and one teeny-tiny and lovely orchid plant with pale pink blooms.

I know (I've been warned already) that I should get some photos posted, but I haven't spend any time with my camera since it fell. On the other hand, I have been using my phone's camera function a lot. Anyone want to share how I download pictures from my Samsung to this site?
