It is almost winter, only two weeks to go and still no
autumn rains . . .
The garden yields nothing at all, just my orchids give me
a thrill now and again
although I have lost quite a few through our
long, hot summer.
The first photo was taken last week when it first opened and
was more pinkish
the second, a few minutes ago when I noticed that the
colour had intensified and turned more magenta.
Flowers are there to enhance our lives, open your eyes and enjoy!
Wow, they are beautiful. Your orchids are just lovely, you must have a green thumb. Happy Weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreen thumbs run in the female side of the family . . . what else do you get when squishing aphids instead of spraying them?
DeleteWow, ganz fantastische Bilder liebe Arija...

Hope you do get some rain, it is hard to imagine not getting rain from time to time like I do

time : )!!

Absolutely gorgeous! And all of a sudden, I am thinking of the Anderson sisters crooning harmonious tunes. :) Happy Mother's Day to you! xo
ReplyDelete...these are beautiful. I love the intense color (we've been without it for so long!). As you prepare for winter, we are preparing for summer.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your orchids Arija, they are spectacular! How lovely to have them in your garden.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful showing the same flower in two different stages (they happened fast). It's beautiful in both colors.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous orchids! Great shots.
ReplyDeleteSveicināta Ārija!
ReplyDeleteCik burvīga krāsa! Vai šīs orhidejas aug Jūsu dārzā vai ir istabas augi arī pie Jums?
