Cynthia Voigts shares a special Valentine custom with us .

" It is usually inhuman , grey   and snowfall covered in SW lower Michigan this fourth dimension of yr .   These orchids , which I have had for   5- 7 years , recognise me each morning as they are located on a stone mantelpiece in front of the layer . It is a perfect location for them due to above sky lights and humidity from the nearby bath .   The rosiness last for months . They set forth flower in   November and usually   persist in their show thru April to   May . Notice the " bosom rocks " setting next to them .   My husband pull in them when walking on the beach at Lake Michigan . I state him he is not wild-eyed … maybe I should re - reckon that ! "
