Orchids

Leina went to the Orchid Festival at Fort Mason yesterday. She and Charles paid their entry fee and checked the scene out. There were exhibits and demonstrations and, of course, lots and lots of orchids (phalaenopsis). They saw Alice's mom and sister Amber (the one who tried to go to Leina's birthday but then waited and waited at Medjool and no one ever showed up), and Leina apologized for the abovementioned action.

They decided to buy an orchid, but hadn't found that best suited them when they made their decision. So they marched up and down the aisles, looking for that perfect orchid. Several that they liked were too expensive, some looked past their peak, some were too pink, some weren't pink enough, some lookePublishd too much like a pansy, some were too small, and some were only one blossom and she wanted a lot of blossoms. After three and a half hours at the show, they had successfully seen many beautiful orchids, but none felt just right for them. They left without buying anything.
