My Orchid has Buds!

West Virginia

I bought this orchid in January at the grocery store to cheer me up during the gloomy months ahead. The flowers just recently started wilting so I thought I'd killed it like every other orchid I've ever owned. Then I noticed the buds. It must know it's May and time to flower.


Tech notes: Mamiya RB67 with 90mm C lens. Kodak TMAX 400. Developed in Kodak TMAX developer, 7 minutes at 70F.
