    Beautiful. The flowers match your cushion nicely!

    By the way, I went looking for a straw "Janet Bag" yesterday at Ross and they had not a one. I do have an old oversized beach straw bag from Gap that I'm "Janet-izing" this weekend though. It's not as cute as your bag, but hopefully the bow will cute it up a little.

    I've been wanting to get an orchid but I don't have very good luck with plants inside and have been afraid it would not go well. What sort of light do you keep it in?

    nita - i was instructed to give them morning light and a diluted cup of coffee now and again. this orchid is 3 yrs old and just rebloomed for its first time.

    Janet, I've been giving my orchids a drink of diluted coffee ever since reading that in one of your pasts a little while back. So far no blooms, but the leaves are beautiful, so I keep hoping...Thanks for that tip! This one is beautiful! Karin

    Ya know - if this is only the second time it has bloomed in three years, maybe coffee ISN'T what it needs. I really can't say - my leaves are getting floppy! And I've only had it about three weeks.
    I love the color of your blossoms - and what a beautiful photograph.
    Love your blog!

    Your beautiful green orchid looks gorgeous on your porch!

    You know how much I love your mushroom crostini...I make it so often just for us and whenever I have friends for lunch.

    catherine - all i know is that i've never gotten a orchid to rebloom and since i started following that advice they bloomed. i'll keep it up and see if i can get them to bloom every year.

    I gave my orchids the diluted coffee as suggested, and the very next week the plant had buds! Coincidence?
    I think not.
    Thanks for sharing the idea.

    Janet, I must say it again...I love the fabric of your cushion! If you don't mind, I would really like to know what pattern that is. It's just soooo pretty. Hope you are having an excellent weekend. -Suzanne in Illinois
