Flowers have been in my life as long as I can remember. I grew up in a house with a small stripe of land which was full of flowers. Nenek, my late grandmother, loved flowers. Especially orchids. Everything that she planted, be it flowers or fruit trees or anything she found by the roadside, grew healthily (and some even grew out of normal size range). Unfortunately, not for me. There were many "casualties" before I found some which are strong enough to survive.
