Orchid

I went to KCC Farmer's market last Saturday and as usual looking for some good deals and some new ideas to plant or to cook. The sight of the beautiful orchids displayed in one of the booths is really breathtaking. I just have to have one at least to be displayed in the living room. It serves as an inspiration whenever I needed one. It also gives me happiness and contentment. It's a peaceful delight to be surrounded by such beautiful flowers.
I bought two plants this time and hope it will flower again after this.

    I always go the farmer’s market on Wednesdays (it’s the weekly schedule in our community) and I was surprised to see a new vendor and he’s selling orchids instead of the regular produce. I just have to check it out. The orchids he’s selling is not like the ones I see in KCC Farmer’s Market…
