Phalaenopsis

For her birthday, my father-in-law Marco gave Luisa a beautiful white Orchid.

It was August 26th and we put it on the garden table near the kitchen. Lots of light and protected from water and cold. Today, almost two months after its arrival, the plant is still there. Majestic and proud in its unchanged whiteness.

I imagine it like this, a synthesis of all the flowers in the garden, a summary of the life and colors that surround us, lots of light and some dark shades.
