Resilience

Gland - Vaud (Switzerland)

This is a small plant of orchid, which I received as present in December 2018. When the flowers withered, only a few leaves remained and I always postponed the decision to throw the small plant away, since it seemed still alive somehow, but I confess I have totally neglected it, watering it casually, when it came to my mind, nothing more.
Then last December I noticed by chance that there was something like a small bud or new root appearing from the two left dark and apparently gloomy leaves. In few weeks it became a twig, then, little by little, buds multiplied and now the small, brave plant is in blossom.
I might see it as a metaphor of the resilience of life, and I think that my small plant deserves a photo…
