Orchids

Dark rain clouds momentarily split this morning to transform a simple white orchid into an alabaster sculpture struck by a bolt of sunlight.

I can't take credit for the white orchid. It's a recent purchase. However the one below, that's grown large and wide and is just beginning to bloom, I've had for many years.

I'm going to have to learn about splitting and repotting this one before it takes over the patio completely.

An Unplanned Journey!

If you're going on an unplanned journey...

take along good people...

and, above all, take along a friend.

These are not fake orchids!

There is a lot of competition at the orchid vendor's.
