Twelfth night, plus twenty

The orchids we bought for Christmas are still flowering, and in the case of the ones in the black pot in the kitchen, still producing a welcoming scent.

When I was growing up we were always under strict rules to remove Christmas decorations by twelfth night, to avoid misfortune. But there is some dispute as to when twelfth night occurs. That notwithstanding, it seems entirely appropriate that these plants should be given maximum exposure during this phase of their flowering cycle.
