Cattleya Buds, General Trias
Ever since this Cattleya plant was given to me two years ago by a friend at work, it never produced its flower. But a few days ago while watering them, I saw some buds and now they look like they are about to bloom any day of this week! This lockdown may be very sad but the attention we give to plants do reward us with positive energy and deep joy.
I was super happy to see that it's about to bloom. Sometimes, God and time teaches us that some things need more amounts of patience and perseverance. Because if you don't give up trying and waiting for something better, while doing your best at where you are at the moment, there will always be a beautiful reward, even at times when you least expect it to happen!
...many of us are late bloomers, never give up hope.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful Tom! I hope just like this flower, there's also something more to my life, though I'm already very grateful :)
DeleteThat already become a very beautiful orchid!
ReplyDeleteDo you know that the botanical name refers to the Englishman William Cattley, an orchid collector?
I wish you a nice and sunny weekend!
Oh Ella that is such a beautiful trivia for me! I will remember that because a lot of my friends on facebook are so excite dto see it bloom, when I post it I'll also tell about your trivia :)
DeleteStevenson, this was a beautiful, encouraging post, just what I needed, thank you, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteTo your flower, too!
Awwwww I had some thoughts about my career lately and the work that I am doing, maybe it translated to when I was writing and we are the same, we need that encouragement! Sending big weekend hugs to you dear Iris!
DeletePlease show us the flowers when they bloom. I'm not familiar with this plant and can't wait to see what the blooms look like. Flowers are such joyful gifts, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteOh! Will sure do Erika :) I'll post it on my blog and share with you! I am so excited! Oh yes, it's something that I hope to give as gifts too someday when I have a family or friend who is celebrating something. Hope to grow more plants :)
DeleteIt is exciting to see the buds on your lovely plant ~ nature does provide intrigue and hope ~ Also glad you had some rain that was needed ~ Looking forward to seeing this plant in bloom ~ ^_^

Thank you very much dear Carol! That rain really was a delight! It may not have cooled the weather much but we are all so happy that the crops and rivers do need them a lot, plus it can help cleanse the streets from any viral traces.
DeleteHappy Mother's Day to you Carol as well! Thank you for being a great mom to Miss Zoe and to all of us who are nurtured by your posts and words!
I have a couple of plants that weren't doing good so I put them in another room and now they are very happy. All it takes is a little adjustment just like us. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
that is very beautiful Bill! I'll always remember that when some of my plants look ailing. Maybe it just needs a different spot. Happy Weekend my dear friend Bill!
DeletePlants know when they are being loved - all the attention you are now giving them has made it happy, so it is flowering :)
ReplyDeleteThat is super true Margaret, Now I am here again in the garden while I read your amazing comments (glad my laptop battery is still good, I dont have a power socket here) I hope many more of them will flower but for now, these that do makes my heart very happy!
