I’ve mentioned previously how much I love orchids. I don’t have a Brown Thumb, per se, but it isn’t exactly a Green Thumb either. People are often under the impression that orchids are a pretty delicate flower… hard to grow… easy to kill… Not. True. They’re cheap. In my experience, I’ve found that Trader Joe’s […]
