Mike’s Orchid

Back in the early 80’s my husband’s friend Mike arranged for him to go to Hawaii to give a talk, all expenses paid for the two of us.  My husband who had been growing roses at the time fell in love with orchids.  They didn’t have them in every grocery store in those days, and he brought home a baby orchid in a bag.  And so his beautiful hobby began.  This is the original orchid- 35 years old.  Unfortunately Mike passed away a number of years ago.  We have always called this Orchid Mike and know he is now smiling.
