One reason why I love spring is because I always know it’s around this time that my orchids start blooming! The bright colors and huge blossoms remind me of my days in Hawaii. I started growing orchids while living there, and when we moved I had to leave them all behind. I quickly rescued more when we moved to Bluffton 5 years ago and I have had the same ones ever since. I loved finding the saddest looking almost half dead ones and watching them come back to life when they were given some attention. They are so faithful, every year they come back, and it’s still exciting to watch them grow from tiny buds to huge blossoms.
