Green delight
Last winter, I brought home an orchid from Ikea.
Knowing how they pump their plants full of fertilizer to make it bloom, I took it for what it was: temporary decoration. The blooms wilted after a month, but I decided not to give up on my little steroids-laden plant: I cut the stem and hoped.
In the mean time, I brought home another orchid from the furniture giant — 6.99 really isn’t that...
