My relationship with my orchid has never been an easy one. From the start, I was plagued by doubts as to whether I was giving her all I could, whether she was really as happy as she appeared to be. She was hot and cold, always changing her mind, never quite sure of how she felt. I was constantly showering so she could have her precious humidity, and rearranging my life (by not using my walk-in closet as a closet so that she could have it as a conservatoire). I gave her a view. I spritzed her roots. I loved her with all my heart, really, I did, but it wasn’t enough. RIP Georgia. You’ll always be my first orchid love.

Ah, if she was placed next to a window she would have burnt. The heat of the sun is magnified by the glass. Mine (nameless) is thriving, but I won’t gloat.

All your Lady Gaga adoration broke her little orchid heart. Where’s the room for Lady Georgia in your life?

Are you sure it died? The flowers are going to wilt and die but it doesn’t mean the whole plant is dead. It will put up new flowers in time

apparently there is hope for georgia. Will 'cut her back' and keep her in a cupboard in the hope that she will bloom once more.
