I have been longingly waiting for my crucifix orchid to flower for the first time because I initially planted this plant from a cutting a dear friend gave me many years ago.
I have been hoping the flowers would be a red shade (my favourite).
The plant produced amazing long tendrils of leafy growth over the last twelve months, but still no flowers.
About two months ago, early summer, I noticed one long,thin,leafless stem growing vertically from the middle of two leaves.
Could it be?????
My plant HAS flowered for the first time and my, what a beauty!
I even got what I hoped for......red flowers! And just look at their detail and delicacy......
My crucifix orchid.....
I always like to try and find one or two of my handcrafted jewellery pieces to 'connect' with my blog post. Here it is.....my red glass cross necklace which sold to a very eager young man at last Sunday's Craft Market.
About Me
- Maryann
- I am very passionate about creating beautiful jewellery and art works in different mediums. I'm constantly evolving both in my designs and in my creativity. Jewellery designing and creating gives me a wonderful sense of achievement and satisfaction. Gardening gives me a physical and energetic satisfaction which I thoroughly enjoy also.These two pursuits are performed in between all the other day to day tasks, but usually special time is set aside when I really want to devote special energy to the creative process.Saying all this,I really do only what just comes naturally!
