Waiting

How many songs can you think of that deal with waiting? For another lover, in vain, whatever.

That's nothing compared with waiting for an orchid to bloom. Dave Altman once showed an orchid he owned for 20 yrs waiting for the dang thing to bloom. Now that's patience.

After 6 years I finally got this Stanhopea to bloom.
I looked up its name, only to find it was never registered under the name I purchased it as. Stan. jenishiana x Stan. tigrina was registered in 2008 by David Hunt as Stanhopea Nina Rach. When I purchased mine in 2003 (or maybe even earlier) it was sold as Stan. Opera Date. I'm not sure which name I like better, *G*! I think Nina deserves a better looking Stanhopea.
