Blooming orchids, Batman!

I like to have an orchid in my bathroom.  Here on Kauai, orchids are pretty common.  I mean, you can buy them at Walmart.  When they finish blooming, I take them outside and tie them onto a tree.  Then the hard part begins...it takes a lot of hard work and concentration to ignore them.  If you mess with them, they just die.  This is where patience pays off.

Eventually the roots grow enough that they cling to the tree and I can remove the green string.  That's when I start to feel really clever.  So pretty, you almost don't notice the giant plastic shed in the back yard!
