We were the class of 1958, members of the Greatest Generation as well as children of the Greatest Generation. Born in 1940, we are also called members of the Traditional Generation.
Our childhood, post World War II, "was the best of times . . . it was the age of wisdom . . . it was the epoch of belief . . .it was the season of Light . . . it was the spring of hope . . . we had everything before us . . .we were all going direct to Heaven . . . ." (A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens.) At least, that's the way I felt about it. We were truly blessed.

The orchid and your picture of it are beautiful. Churchill said, "Never, never, never give up." Same message but someone else said the other.
Beautiful. Thanks for posting. My mom took lots of flower photos but they are on slides, as I mentioned before. She took a really nifty photo once of decoration on Christmas tree - closeup of a large ball which had her reflection in it. I have this one. Your photos are reminding me of her.
You probably should have the slides transferred to photos someday.
Congratulations. I know what it feels like to grow beautiful flowers. At one time I had a wonderful collection of roses. I also know how difficult it can be to achieve that sort of success.
Thomas Palmer (1782 - 1861) is the one who said it. The complete version was:
Tis a lesson you should heed,
try, try again.
If at first you don't succeed,
Try, try again.
