Wild Orchid

It was a hot Saturday morning yesterday. I was a little bit happy and a little bit sad. Happy because I get a chance to book out but sad because I can probably book out only in the evening. Anyway we were doing a recce at the training ground when I suddenly saw a bunch of wild orchids that sprouted out in an open terrain. It was like a mirage . I probably feel the same way as Sgt Joyce when he wrote the poem '... I think I have never seen , a poem as lovely a tree ... '. Despite protest from my trainer , I took some home. I bought a $1 flower pot and some charcoal and started my 'experiment'. There are 2 shoots, one is quite yellowish and the other looks healthy. We shall see which one will survive.
