Eliza Waters 
Beauteous!
Thank you, Cindy!
Delightful!
From a visit to the local college greenhouse – feeding my soul in winter. đ
I bet there were others in similar circumstances.
Many. đ Next month they have the spring bulb show and the place will be packed like sardines!
Beautiful!
Thank you, Anne!
Just beautiful!
Thank you!
A sunny, happy, surprise photo! I surely hope that’s being (lovingly) grown in your home đ
Ah, no, I wish! It is being grown in Lyman Conservatory, Smith College. If you ever get out to the western end of the state, I recommend a visit. In summer, the grounds are lovely, too.
A blast of sunshine, thanks Eliza
My pleasure, Dorris. Thank you!
Love orchids…
They are special flowers, for sure. đ
Reblogged this on Anita Dawes & Jaye Marie.
Thank you so much!
unusual orchid, quite stunning.
Thank you – it is a lovely one.
Words not needed for this beauty. đ
Thank you, Judy!
Orchids are such cheerful plants.
Yes, they are. Some are like little monkey faces and a few are beautifully perfumed.
So beautiful. That burst of color woke me right up from my winter sleep. đ
Thank you, Robin. In winter, I often visit area greenhouses to get my green/living/breathing things fix. đ Mini-vacations!
What a sun-shiny orchid bloom! Sure you needed that dose Eliza!
Yes, indeed. I always need a trip to the greenhouse this time of year!
A welcome sight. Beautiful!
Thank you, Belinda. For us in the north, the craving for growing things is getting intense, isn’t it?
Oh, the colors! What a great vision for today.
Thank you, Kim. We’ve had so many gray days, I needed a spot of color!

Always stunning!
Thank you, Storm!
You’re welcome…
Lovely! I could use some flowers in the house here – it’s been so cold, I don’t want to get any for fear that they’ll get destroyed on the walk to the car.
Thank you, Sarah. Cut tulips and daffodils may better make the journey to the car, as they can take a touch of frosty weather. Also pots of bulbs – hyacinths, daffs, etc. and primrose plants don’t mind cool temps either.
Good call! I love having some tulips this time of year – they are a great reminder that they will soon be up in the yard as well!
That’s a lovely Cymbidium! I’m eagerly watching the flower spike that’s developed on one of mine – they take their time to bloom!
Thanks, Kris. I wish I could say this one was mine, but it’s from the local college’s conservatory. I’m so grateful to have a place to go to see flowers in winter! Hope yours has an abundance of flowers. đ
Such bright little faces! Lucky you to have a nearby conservatory where you can visit these beauties.
Thanks, Laurie. I do feel fortunate in that regard. There are 3 college conservatories within easy driving distance and believe me, they are a godsend in winter!
I bet! A real treat.
This is totally gorgeous, Eliza! So tropical. Must be a nice break from the winter…
Thank you, Peggy. A visit to a lush greenhouse is definitely a welcome break!
Amazing beautiful Eliza, wow for a color too đ
My son is a gardener too and I enjoyed to see these amazing colors in the wintertime, while I still lived in Denmark, where it is cold most of the year.
Thank you, Irene. They provide a welcome break from the cold winter.
I love irises! I’ve never really seen yellow ones like this before, though — gorgeous. x
Thank you, Rebecca. True, these do look a bit like yellow iris (Iris pseudacorus), but they are actually cymbidium hybrid orchids. Regardless of the label, I agree that they are gorgeous! đ
Oops, my mistake! Still, they are beautiful.
Yes, they are! đ
Beautiful specimen … I love the deep yellow color.
Thank you, Denise. Orchids are so captivating!
