The first to arrive was Polly with a lovely plant with small blooms of such an unusual color. It has shades of orange, pink, and purple. I don't ever recall seeing one of this variety. It does look nice with the colors of the room. I've never had an orchid plant before and I hope I can give it the care it needs to stay healthy and bloom for a long time.
The next to arrive was my elder daughter, Peggy, with what we used to call a "butterfly" orchid. It was just like the one I wore the first time I when to a dance with my future husband. It was so pretty that he gave me another, the second dance we went to. That makes it pretty special.

What thoughtful daughters, Priscilla. Those orchids will give you weeks of pleasure.
Praise the Lord - they're right side up. Happy Mother's Day, Priscilla
How pretty! I would love to have a small greenhouse and grow orchids one day.
Your daughters are so sweet to bring you orchids! I am happy you had a great Mother's Day.
xo,

Guess it pays off to hint a little, if you have been wanting one!! Such sweet girls to know. Both orchids are beautiful - lucky mom!!
No head-banging for you!
...and to think, I'd have been quite content with more African Violets!
I just hope they are happy in my living room.
If I don't kill them. I'v been reading up on how to be a good mother to them.
We had a fine day. We went off to a friend's luncheon party. Good food and good company.
