Orchids...

Audrey Hepburn once said "To plant a garden - is to believe in tomorrow"

I say "If you plant an Orchid - you believe in eternity"!

My "newer" Orchid plant is doing so well, it started to bloom this week.
I have 2 very healthy shoots on it.
One shoot has 3 flowers, with 7 coming.
The second shoot has 2 flowers, with 4 more coming.

So on this dark, gloomy, rainy day
 - which I secretly love -
seeing these flowers will bring me much joy and happiness!

Hello, Debbie! Your orchids are beautiful. They are lovely blooms, so glad they are growing so well. I can see why they bring you happiness. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day!

I love dark rainy days too! I am in awe of you growing orchids! I don't have anything growing in the house - not even ivy! I think I must have a black thumb when it comes to house plants!

These are gorgeous. You certainly know how to grow beautiful Orchids and other flowers as well.

I would have those, if I didn't constantly fight my wife's collecting of all things.

You have a magic tough Debbie, both in taking care of those exquisite orchid blooms and also taking photos of them. Absolutely gorgeous!

Debbie, I tried my hand at growing orchids and was a total failure! So, I really admire your efforts.

Debbie, it's no secret - I love those kind of days, too! Your orchids and photos are gorgeous. I've never had any success with orchids.

Gorgeous colour and oh those blooms - so wonderful. All those healthy buds promising more too.
Yes, being indoors all cosy and snug is a lovely feeling when it's bad weather outside, I know what you mean :D)
