My sister in law Paige heads to Martha's Vineyard with her kids every year for the majority of the summer. Paige is an excellent homemaker... great cook, great organizer, and she has a very green thumb. This means that each year, as she gets ready to leave, she gives away some of her plants that require some 'additional' care- because she knows that her husband won't enjoy them, and that they will probably die otherwise.
Last year she gave me at least 4 orchids. I did enjoy them. And then they died. I kept her husband updated whenever I would see him... killed another one of Paige's orchids this week. Paige had a good laugh about the murder of her plants.
This year, Paige gave me an orchid to 'kill'. I am going to try my DAMNEDEST to keep the thing alive. She's been gone over a week and we're still doing good. Wish me luck!
