Hurray for the resilient dandelions, too. Goodness knows, they can thrive and grow splendidly in an orchid environment, too :) <br /><br />I'm new to this concept, but I like it.

My son is also an orchid and I am so appreciative that I've had the chance to nurture him at home. And I'm increasingly appreciative of my own sensitivity as the years go by, despite having spent my childhood to toughen up!<br />You made me giggle about the bookshop experience, too. I relate!Lucindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06165136384071830629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403012288289020503.post-66020699273920200902013-09-26T11:37:36.591+10:002013-09-26T11:37:36.591+10:00Thanks Deb.

I mean will I ever know as when 'sapling's' they were firmly nurtured, so would they be orchards or dandelions without the nurturing, not sure I'm making sense.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448595911801738792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403012288289020503.post-69847977323560191222013-09-23T22:04:26.548+10:002013-09-23T22:04:26.548+10:00Hmmmm.
