Before the Bad Weather Came....
there were orchids. The Great Divide Orchid Society had a show at the empty mall about six blocks away, so it was a no-brainer to walk down on Saturday and tour the show.
This beauty was an orchid about 3 feet across. The flowers are about 12 inches long. By far the 'biggest' display of a single plant. Very unusual.
Then these were also about 12 inches long. However, they were covered by hundreds of tiny flowers.
It was a small show, but not short on beauty. I came home with a scented cattleya in a pinky purple. Pictures of her to show up shortly when I am feeling better. And a little $1 guy who will take about 2 years to first bloom. I wanted to see if I could get him to survive that long in my hands and blooming. Texter also bought me a beautiful cream and purple phalaenopis.
Some more of the eye-candy available on Saturday.
Now I will go fix some hot Wild Orange tea from Teavana (which is out of this world) and try and get over this crud I have.
