[Off the Wall]

I read this blog just to entertain myself. It kinda reminds me of Mr Wilson from Dennis the Menace.

Mr George Wilson : Who else has a night-blooming mock orchid flowering this year?
Mrs Martha Wilson : It's an awfully homely-looking plant, George.

George Wilson : Hang the looks at the thing! It opens before your eyes in the light of a full moon. It's a marvel, Martha. 40 years to mature and blossom. The flower opens and withers in a matter of moments.

[Mr. and Mrs. Wilson approach a rare mock orchid kept alive for 40 years]
George Wilson : There isn't a gardener in town who has a plant that requires a 40-year investment for ten seconds of splendor.

I think George has it right. 40 years of investment for 10 seconds of splendor.
We have a mock orchid- enjoy the moment if and when it arrives!
