Lovely Orchid rescue story and pictures.
About a month or so ago, I saw this little lonely Orchid discarded in the pet food aisle at the local ghetto Kroger store. I just have sucker weakness for this kind of stuff. Wait until I post my kitty cat pictures and you will see. It looked pretty bad and was marked down to 3 bucks. I took this baby home. This was just a month ago.
Look at her now, and those who know, Orchids grow very slow.
I wish I had shot some pictures of her when I got her. One flower had dropped dead already.
The story goes with the pictures and the pictures go with the story.
Nikon D200 with Nikon AF 28-80 Lens. Camera set to A, auto.
Used Light Room Classic and LR CC to auto adjust and just slightly tweak exposure and contrast.
Now, for all you HOGGERS who have house and outdoor plants and flowers, the magic sauce I have found that works miracles for my Orchids and this little baby I am posting is living proof of this natural stuff I have been using and the plants LOVE IT. I add SuperThrive to the watering bowl. I have been using this new stuff which is a real miracle, it is called Worm Tea. I get it from Florida and and OH WOW ! Do my babies love it? Check it out.
Look at her now ! If you only see what she looked like when I got her.

You sound like a proud new Papa. Orchids are difficult but can be good little girls with proper care. Thanks for sharing these.
