I am a sucker for Slipper Orchids and there were dozens and dozens in every color combination imaginable from yellow to pale green to almost black! Along one of the halls in the conservatory there were pots with 6 or more different ones in each!! I think they are really special!
Do view large!
Today was almost 80F..tomorrow down to 45 with chance of rain or snow. Then the next 5 days down in the 30s! The Daffodils, Hellebores and Primroses will be fine but I worry about things just leafing out still in a delicate stage.....

Last week's visit to Monsal Dale was almost a total "Drone and Phone" day, only resorting to the Powershot out of absolute necessity. This shot of a fly fisherman was taken with the Samsung Galaxy S7, from the footbridge over the Wye, just upstream and around the bend from the viaduct.
The Peonies are loaded with buds and already started blooming-at least 2 weeks earlier than normal! These were in the yard when we bought the house but have been moved and divided to give me a long border of them on front of the Dogwood trees. I especially like this one. Of course, there are ants as well!
