the other day i saw a beautiful purple orchid.
it reminded me of a funny memory from when jeff and i were first married.
i had caught the baby bug.
(probably because the couples in our ward were reproducing like rabbits, and every sunday i would stare at the chubby, bouncing babies)
one day as we strolled the grocery store i expressed my baby hunger to jeff.
he of course tried his best to avoid the topic.
luckily for him, i was quickly distracted by a display of stunning purple orchids.
quick on his feet, jeff suggested i buy one and make it my baby.
and thus kelly was born.
(i have no idea where that name came from. i don't even like the name kelly--no offense kellies)
sadly her time with us was short lived. apparently three ice cubes per week as her label said was not enough to sustain her.
however, i now have two other children of the flora variety.
above is mandrake and below is bambi.
so far both seem much less temperamental than kelly.
i still prefer my hobbes, but i'm always looking for another type of house plant...any suggestions?
