See my earlier message to Mimici. Thanks to Rugger for letting me know how to send a photo.
This is my Orchid today. It still has buds on it. So if you're feeling like almost dead sticks this is what can happen after rest and allowing yourself time to recover - you can bloom once more. X
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!
Footfairy-1, It is beautiful!!!! It is so perfect, it looks artificial!!!!
Yes, yes, I do feel like a "dead stick!" Perhaps a thick, chunky, heavy, "dead stick," but a dead stick nonetheless!!!!!
This is the perfect example of how rest, relaxation and re-energising ones self's can bring on re-birth; where there was no life... there is LIFE in abundance!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for reminding me that "I" am still here... I'm not a dead stick.

Just as I wonder
whether it's going to die,
the orchid blossoms
and I can't explain why it
moves my heart, why such pleasure
comes from one small bud
on a long spindly stem, one
blood red gold flower
opening at mid-summer,
tiny, perfect in its hour.

Mamaci1 here's a bit of daftness to get those endorphins going.
I didn't quite pee
Why does this make me think of this week's Macron and Trump antics?
Some of us are more like animals that others🤑🤣🤣🤣
Perfect!
Gosh, that's an hilarious video! Loved it.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Gorgeous! What a nice analogy!
It's lovely. Glad you took the time to post it.🌻(closest I get to a plant or flower).
How lovely. I admire a person who can get an orchid to do that. I am not good with them.
How lovely, Footfairy-1. I'm so glad I told you how to post a photo! I've never been able to get orchids to bloom again. Let's hope yours is a good omen for us all.
Wonderful! I will never be able to speak to anyone called Alan again!
The orchid is beautiful. I am not blessed in the gardening department. Luckily, my husband is. This gives him a real incentive to keep well because, if his MS is worse, or God forbid he gets sepsis again, you can practically guarantee at least some of his plants will die. I once thought I had overcome my plant-growing problem. I had an indoor plant that I nurtured and it grew well and flowered. At that point I realised it was a dandelion. Whatever had been in the pot had obviously died and an opportunist had taken its place.
Hi Lovely photo. My legs feel like lifting tree trunks rather than twigs but I love the analogy and gives us such hope thank you Footfairy.

Hope springs eternal. I really want one now.
That was a funny compilation tape Poopadoop, love it!
I don’t know how I missed this lovely thread. Good job we get the summary.
I think it was you who mentioned in the initial thread to treat yourself like you would an orchid. 🌼
Yes, I believe that we are orchids and need to be treated as such. Thank you for illustrating just how an orchid responds to the right conditions.
Wow!! Absolutely beautiful!
