My son gave me an orchid for Mother's day. I was able to keep the blooms alive through most of the summer before I accidentally over-watered it and the blooms died off. I had been keeping it just below my kitchen window or in the window sill depending upon the sun angle.
It had already sprouted a new leaf and according to the instructions that meant it was ready to sprout a flower stem within a period of time.
Today, I noticed that I have a new shoot for flowers! This is my beautiful sight:

Its been several years since we've had one, I may have to try to find a Christmas Cactus.
