For my birthday on June 9th, three weeks ago , my son sent me a lovely flower arrangement with roses, lilies, carnations and a small pink flowers that I thought might be orchids. There was also a plant for me as well.
As the days went by the lilies opened up and gave us a wonderful scent. Then as more time went by they faded and so did the roses and the carnations. But not the small pink flowers. Yesterday , 3 weeks after they arrived ,they were still looking fine. And they are in a position where they are in full sunshine for two hours every morning. Here are some photos.
I have given them freshwater and shortened their stems but that is all. I have never known cut flowers to last as well as these little flowers. I am thinking they may be an orchid. If you recognize them please leave a comment below. I think these long lived flowers deserve to be mentioned in Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge.
