Phal McCartney Joins the Orchid Rescue
Summary
Phal McCartney now has a complete Orchid Rescue profile.
The timeline begins in January with two growing flower spikes, follows the purple-and-white bloom through April, and resumes after a month packed in a plastic tub during the move from Florida to Texas. By late July, the flowers were long gone, but a new center leaf had broadened and matured.
Accomplishments
- Preserved all 23 photographs and their available metadata.
- Published the complete supplied story and dated photo timeline.
- Used photo 20 as the hero image.
- Replaced the original coming-soon profile with the full thriving-plant page.
Lessons Learned
- A plant can survive an inconvenient tour delay surprisingly well.
- Approximate history is still useful when it is labeled honestly instead of converted into a falsely precise date.
Next Steps
- Keep documenting new leaves, roots, and the next bloom.
