Orchid - May 2013

I bought this Cattleya Iwanagara orchid, "Appleblossom" years ago at an orchid show. I absolutely love the color and it has a sweet fragrance!

It is a real trooper, blooming for me consistently year after year despite less than stellar care.

Bought this one for Mrs F about a year ago. It flowered and then lay dormant for a while before returning with this display...

Orchids are just plain sexy

Orchids in bloom predicting Spring!

 

This acquired over 9,000 views, probably in a few hours (I was not there to witness it). That day it reached 9,627 views, according to the stats: 99% from an unknown source. The problem is that this shows my stats in the wrong way and makes the chart look ridiculous. And does not affect the algorithm.

Orchids from the special exhibit at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum.

The diminutive Musk Orchid, no bigger than a thumb. This tiny colony on Selsley Common, Gloucestershire with no more than 20 plants, oddly seems to have migrated about 20 feet since last year, from a steep down slope to a little tump. They must have decided the tump was a more 'des res' than the slope which was showing signs of hoof damage!
