Phalaenopsis Taisuco Little Stripe 'Dootsie’s Pride’ For me, part of the joy of keeping plants are the memories associated with them. I have a spider plant that is an offspring from my grandmother’s plant, a pothos from my grandfather’s funeral, and a staghorn fern that my brother ripped (none too gently) from his huge specimen. I have Christmas cactus, aloes, kalanchoes, a rubber tree and a goldfish plant because they are associated in some way with people special to me. Every time I interact with the plant, I remember them. This orchid holds a special place because it began blooming the day we had to put a wonderful dog down. It made for a lovely memorial to a good friend. Now every time it blooms, I am reminded of Zeke and all the fun times.
