Psalm 118:6 Dear Lord, Thank you so much that you are always with me. Thank you for reminding me that I don’t need to be afraid because you’re there, watching over me. Thank you that you are far greater than anything that could happen to me in this world, and I need only trust in you. Amen 詩篇118:6 親愛なる主よ、 あなたがいつも私と共にいてくださることを心から感謝します。あなたがそこにいて、私を見守っていてくださるので、恐れる必要がないことを思い出させてくださりありがとうございます。あなたはこの世で私に起こりうるどんなことよりもはるかに偉大な方であり、私はただあなたを信じるだけでよいことを感謝します。 アーメン

My mom sent me an email with these photos. I was astounded! Then I read this article that explains why these pictures are even more amazing. These flowers are the result of months of training the plants, using a special Japanese method, all for just a couple weeks of blooming.
On a side note, My grandfather used to breed and show orchids and anthuriums. He kept them in the shade of his huge lychee tree. There were dozens upon dozens of pots of them. I remember my grandma watering the anthuriums for years after he died, keeping them alive. (My mom lurks on my blog sometimes--she might post about Grandpa's plants in the comments.)

Oh my gosh!!!! These are stunning!
All that work for two weeks worth of blooms, huh? Is that kind of like writing a book?
