Summary

Something now has a complete Orchid Rescue profile covering her January clearance-rack rescue from Publix in Naples, the move from Florida to Texas, and a second recovery from severe dehydration.

Accomplishments

• Built and validated Something’s canonical Plant Model workspace.
• Published all 21 supplied photographs as a dated recovery timeline.
• Preserved the conversational rescue narrative and slightly goofy captions.
• Used XMP sidecars to recover dates missing from several exported images.
• Replaced the coming-soon placeholder with a generated public page.
• Added current and index imagery through canonical plant metadata so the orchid matrix remains derived.

Lessons Learned

• XMP sidecars remain useful provenance when exported photographs lose their embedded capture dates.
• Grouping multiple views from the same event keeps a complete photo record readable without duplicating captions.

Next Steps

• Continue documenting Something when the next leaf, root milestone, or flower spike appears.
