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.

    You have beautiful flowers. I don't have one to compare. I am thankful just to be able to come and see them here.

    You probably don't remember when people lived and died at home and endured wakes. I wrote about it here. http://bing-it.blogspot.com/

    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.
