For the record.

That flower, yesterday, was a Rose.

It's becoming obvious why I need a record.
The Orchid on the right has had one flush of 8 flowers, which all dropped off eventually, leaving a flock of buds which just sat there for a while and the displayed another flush of 8 more flowers.
The one on the left I, equally, have no idea how long it's been flowering for.
In the centre is the one I'm now tracking.
It's six & 1/2 weeks since I spotted it and it'll be a week or so before it starts to open.
