Hi Connie, this wonderful write was deserving of Poem Of The Day. My belated congratulations on the honour. Your wonderful write does sing the grace of the Orchid. Sometimes writes that seem so simple can touch people the deeper Connie. May you ever sing gold Connie. Another fave. Have a wonderful wednesday. Hugs....Mike. XX

I did not know they had no scent! And I've three currently, two the color in your pic. My nose is my weakest sense which I'll not complain about. I enjoyed this and learned (not the first time one of your poems has taught me something.) Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Sorry I'm late Connie , but congratulations on your wonderful POTD. I've bought several varieties of beautiful orchids, but seem to have no luck keeping them thriving once the flowers fall off. You've obviously got all the right ingredients in beautiful Hawaii though. Beautifl temperature all year around....Maria hugs

They have a time of rest between blooming again. Ours bloom bi-annually. You just need to give them orchid food and lots of sun. So nice to hear from you Maria Thank you. : )
