Cost of an in bloom orchid for a person who knows nothing about flowers and has way too much expendable income to know the true value of a dollar: $149.99.
Cost of seeing an overpriced orchid that has spent its blooms and would have given someone many more blooms should they have given it a little tender loving care thrown into the garbage: Priceless.

Thank you, Tribeca!

I don’t think you can know what’s going on with the economy from observing Manhattanites. They’re a little puffed up. I am grateful to say I still have my job, my small house and even a blooming orchid!
Best,
