Christmas Gift From The Great Unknown

My ex- introduced me to orchids, and over the years I've succumbed to their allure and purchased them only to watch them die off after their amazing blooms have faded. That is until now. This simple and beautiful Cymbidium Orchid has just begun to bloom for the second time! I bought it last December at a local Home Depot. It bloomed then most magnificently. I kept it inside until the weather permitted and then set it upon my deck for the duration of the warm weather. In October, it sprouted blossom stems from two of its bulbs. And now they are opening with all of the miraculous beauty of Orchids everywhere.
