Oh to live where you can hang your orchids on a tree or plant them in the ground. I can't think of anything better.

Wonderful little story about the pull and magic of those plants.

In the final paragraph Ms. Breunlin says, "I just opened this place as a botanical garden." That in itself would make a story (hopefully, with illustrations).

Thank you for the wonderful comment. There is another story about my newly opened botanical garden - Phantasea Tropical Botanical Garden - at this link:
