Today was the last day of the Winter Show of the
Murray Bridge and District Orchid Club, of which
I am a member.
There was also an Orchid Photo Competition and I was
lucky enough to win the trophy with this charming little
Orchid photographed in my shadehouse coming first,
and this beautiful Orchid shot at last year's Spring Show
coming second.
I personally loved this little Slipper Orchid as well
as this pretty pair of slippers anyone would like
under thir bed.
I took quite a few photos which I will post now and then.

for providing us with this venue for showing our flowers.
