Spring Arrives Earlier in San Diego

This Cymbidium orchid finally bloomed after about 4 or 5 years. It was thrown into a pot and forgotten under some giant philodendron leaves and hibiscus bushes. Actually, the pot wandered around the outside of the house for several years until it was finally thrown under the bushes this year. I think a handful of compost landed in it, too.

But, no, these plants do not "thrive on neglect" like my big pot of Epiphyllum.

If this isn't a sign of the early arrival of Spring, I don't know what is.
