I just read in an orchid care guide,

“Orchids will flower for two reasons, either they are happy or they think they’re about to die.”

And I was not ready for that level of poetry

many-to-most of our native orchids have small greenish-white flowers. Goodyera oblongifolia, for example. Not that I'm not always thrilled to see a native orchid, but Goodyera's especially fun because of the showy white net pattern on the leaves. The flowers are worth smelling, too: classic sweet orchid fragrance.

I kinda love books that are just good. They aren’t gonna change my life. They won’t affect how I think or see the world. I won’t stay awake running the words through my head over and over again. I probably won’t remember the main characters’ names. There’s a good chance I’ll forget I even read it at some point. But it was still good. It made me smile or laugh or cry or just feel content in the moment. Not every book needs to be a ground-breaker. Not every book needs to alter your brain chemistry. Not every book needs to be the best book you’ve ever read. Sometimes you read a book, and it’s just good. And that’s enough. That’s all you need
