Blooms of winter

Regardless of the dark, wet and dreary weather some of my flowers are in full bloom right now. An amaryllis, the Christmas cactus and an orchid. I’m particular proud of the orchid, which I got around this time last years when I left my old job. For most of the year the plant has looked almost dead and I decided that if nothing happened by Christmas I would throw it away. That obliviously did the trick. A couple of weeks later there were lots of buds and now they are all in full bloom. Looks like I better keep the orchid for another year.
