Pacific Orchid Expo<\/a> in San Francisco. As spring arrives in the northern half of the planet, after a winter of strong storms, our drought appears to be over in California. That&#8217;s great news. I&#8217;ve lived through several droughts during my 34 years in the Bay Area, and even when there&#8217;s enough water, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aboutorchids.com\/blog\/2014\/04\/20\/water-conservation\/\">it&#8217;s best not to be wasteful<\/a>. Clean water should always be treated as a precious resource. Like the cycling seasons, the passing moments guarantee that the situation will change again.
