Orchid Goals, Resolutions and Wishes
Dear Orchid Friends:
The New Year is an opportune time to set goals, plan
for the future. Society spends a considerable amount
of time to the development of personal goals related
to health, diet, exercise, jobs, finances and family.
January is also a great time to devote to your orchid
plans. Why not give attention to Nature's gifts and
reward yourself throughout the year?
Here are my orchid resolutions:
-
To water my orchids… more / less /
consistently as applicable to my varieties
-
To repot those requiring a larger pot
-
To separate and repot the keikis
-
To fertilize more consistently
-
To spend time retagging those hard to read labels
-
To be more conscientious of moving the orchids to
give them ample light at the various times of the
year
-
To monitor for insects
-
To mount more orchids in my yard…. which
will surprise guests looking out windows or walking
in the garden
-
To purchase fresh supplies (of everything!)
-
To visit more orchid shows this year
-
To take those extra few hours on the weekend to
devote time to my orchids
-
To expand my collection
-
To purchase new clippers
-
To collect other orchid collectibles
-
To showcase my blooming orchids more consistently
in our home… not just on the bench
-
To appreciate their beauty and spend more time
admiring them
-
To be in less of a hurry
-
To give more orchids as gifts to others
-
To acquire another orchid book
-
To make a point to inhale and breathe in the
wonderful scents of each orchid flower (aren't they
wonderful?)
-
To ask my husband to take more orchid photos
-
To get my articles written timely
-
To treat them carefully, delicately and with
reverence
-
To treat all time with my orchids as therapy
-
To surround myself with beauty and enjoy everything
about orchids!
Wow! I have my work cut out for me….but what
wonderful rewards I will enjoy this year.I hope your
year is a flowering one. Happy New Year!
Until next time,
Vivi
