“What does reward mean to you?”
The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge
“The end is not the reward;
the path you take,
the emotions that course through you as you grasp life
– that is the reward.”
.
Jamie Magee
Reward comes in the enjoyment of the fruits of one’s efforts.
We each tend to those things which matter in our daily lives. We give our attention, our energy, to those things, and those people, we value.

I take great pleasure in these flowers. Coming to this spot, this window, brings such a joyful reward for the small efforts of daily tending.

The tiny luxuries and pleasures of life, like winter flowers and freshly baked bread, are reward enough for our daily efforts.
Sharing them with loved ones makes them even more special.

Congratulations! How exciting that the book is out. Thank you for the link. Best wishes, WG
Wonderful to see your rewards both inside and outside. ❤ lovely photos, WG
Thank you, Jane 😉
Oh, I love that cyclamen! I’ve not tried growing one yet and need to change that.
If I see a pretty one I’ll pick it up for you, Barbara. It will give us an excuse to get together for a coffee one week soon 😉
Gorgeous orchids and definitely a wonderful reward 🙂
Thank you, Brenda 😉 And thank you for visiting Forest Garden today! Best wishes, WG
Your orchid and cyclamen are so beautiful! I love the soft colors. Is it a phalaenopsis cross hybrid? Possibly with dendrobium or cymbidium?
Thank you, Eliza. A grower brought a truckload of orchids to the market. I chose this one for its flowers, but didn’t ask about its parentage. It wasn’t labeled. “A rose by any other name…” 😉
Indeed – it is a beauty and that is all that matters!
