She was given this as a thank you present - but she is hopeless with plants and I found it half-dead. It came home with me and I am delighted that it has recovered and is flowering again!

Thanks! I do try to educate her into how to care for houseplants, but this poor orchid was left in full sun and was completely floppy. I really HAD to rescue it - and I bet she hasn't even missed it - she certainly hasn't enquired about its welfare!

Lovely orchid Spritz. Good for you for nursing it back to health.
I just brought my Mum's orchid home to nurse. Her's was almost dead too. I hope I have as much success.

Does she know she's not getting it back? Perhaps you could give her an artificial one in it's place.

Noooo you can't do that Wagger, the artifical ones are horid. how about a sansevieria they take any kind of treatment ok not as stunning as an orchid, but they do flower every so often.

Isn't that the one called 'Mother-in-Law's Tongue', Angie? I simply can't give her one of those - my son-in-law would think it was a HUGE joke!
I would never hear the last of it!
I do grow some Coleus plants each year and take her one or two - she can usually cope with those, although the last one, she forgot to pinch out the flower buds so it has huge flowers all over it! She was a bit shame-faced about that.
