so, this orchid started budding in the den, in an east window…

and it was living in water…

many of the orchids in that room love being in water constantly, even though all the resources say not to do that, lol…

once the buds began to open, I moved it to the plant table in the west window of the living room…

today was watering day and after I gave it some water, I turned to another plant and knocked the orchid onto the floor… in the process I broke off the branch with all the new buds on it…

picked it up, put most of the bark back in it, sopped up the water, and vacuumed everything up…

then I put the branch in a small vase and am hoping for the best…

not how I planned watering day to go, sigh…
