So when I was at work yesterday I met the grandmother of the 2 boys that I nanny for. Well I should probably explain to those of you who don't know what I have been doing with myself lately! I found a job being a Nanny for a family with 2 boys (Charlie 15, and Sam 13) plus there 3 cats ( Coco, George , and Emily!) and dog Rodger. The boys are obviously a lot older so my job is pretty basic. I am there to cart them around to friends houses, tennis lessons, make dinner, keep them out of trouble, ect. In all honesty most of the time there is absolutely nothing to do so I end up watching animal planet or playing with the animals, Very low key. So back to my story. Yesterday I met their grandmother. She is this sweet lady that travels the world and collects Orchids. We hit it off and talked for hours and when it was time for me to go home she told me to take home this Orchid with me. I told her no but she insisted. It is this gorgeous purple and yellow one that she got in Florida a few weeks ago. I didn't know much about them so I stopped by this wonderful garden center on my way home to get a new pot and learn what on earth to do with it. I met this cute old Asian man that I could hardly understand (makes me wish you where here Richard and Nathan!) who re potted it for me and told me how to take care of it. This guy was so sweet! He even packaged it up all cute for me with a bow and everything!
He really did a good job. He even put all of this moss on it and made it look so pretty! :)
Here is a close up of what the flowers look like. I love how they are outlined with white! This also makes me miss you Marinke! (lol, probably spelled that wrong!) You would love this garden place, there are all sorts of Orchids everywhere!
I had to take a picture of the pot because it is so perfect for me. I am obsessed with swirl patterns and I just feel in love with this pot! So thats about it for the Orchid. Lets just hope it survives the car ride home!!!
