Cal Pacific May 2013

Sorry, guys. As long as this orchid stays alive, I'll probably photograph it.

The perfect place to escape the frigid frostiness of January in Britain. Might pop there tomorrow - just a few days left before I go back to work ...

Orchids are back. Not the same plant, but still so wonderful to admire. I can guess why are they so expensive. Spring is coming...I can feel it!

Happy flower

I have a time-lapse movie of this bloom opening. This was a $50 plant at the orchid show, but the Korean sales lady told me "For you I make twenty dollah."
