I never thought I’d find the world of orchid collecting - or Florida - so interesting.

If I didn’t enjoy having plants, I would have zero interest in this topic. But it’s just wonderful meandering journalism. 

And within that, the beauty of finding passions to make the vastness of life smaller, more focused, and therefore not as overwhelming.
