Some Orchids that grace my shadehouse



the Zygopetalum has a lovely perfume



Cymbidiums are easy to grow and last a long time



Pleione formosiana does not last long, but is so
delicate that it is a joy anyway.

  19. Beautiful orchids, thanks!

    Sorry to hear about your drought--my corner of Montana is also suffering from global warming. Precipitation is only slightly less than long-term average, but it comes more as rain than as snow, and temperatures are significantly warmer.

    Just read your post on the dams. I do pray the Lord sends good rain for you very soon...good soaking, life giving rain!
