Eliza Waters 
I love flowers that are exquisite, and just the teensiest bit scary. 😀
This one was remarkable!
Beautiful, so delicate, so intricate.
Thank you, Maggie. It is a lovely orchid, one I hadn’t seen before.
Nature always surprises me. 🌸
Me, as well. I’m always in love. 🙂
Just lovely.
Thank you, Fi.
Beautiful flowers, Eliza… but it occurs to me that they are hardly ‘silent’ as they speak louder than most!
Hehe, you’re right! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Stunning. I love the caramel colour.
Thank you, Ali. It was quite a standout.
Gorgeous! Smith greenhouse??
Thank you, yes!
Soo beautiful! Are they difficult to grow?
Orchids need indirect light, but warmth and humidity, which I don’t really have. This was taken at our local conservatory. They have a nice orchid collection.
Yes that’s what has been keeping me from trying orchids. We heat with a woodstove so our air is very dry. It must be wonderful to have a conservatory nearby!!
It is a life-saver in the winter. It is where I head to when I need a green fix!
Cool flowers, very exotic! They look like they might be fragrant?
Thanks, not sure about the fragrance. I get pretty overwhelmed in the greenhouse, esp. after viewing all those spring bulbs. 😉
GORGEOUS, Eliza! I can SEE the picture!! YAY!! Happy Sunday to you! 🌼
Thank you very much, Amy!
Stunning flower.
Thank you, Wendy. It really wowed me!
Very Nice! Wonderful flower!
Thank you, Reed!
I have never seen an orchid like that before – it is stunning.
Thank you, Karina. Definitely a standout.
I think this is as close to perfect as you can get.
Thank you, Dor!
Really beautiful, Eliza. I agree with dorannrule. 🙂
Thank you, Robin. How have you survived the last couple storms? Spring for you seems to be an on and off again affair.
It’s been crazy, that’s for sure! I missed the last nor’easter. I was in NE Ohio where we did get about 5 inches of snow from the same system before it moved east. But I expect snow in NE Ohio where we once had a good snow storm the first week of May. Have you been getting any snow out of these systems?
The last one only dropped about a half a dozen snowflakes, thank god, passed to our south completely. Half the yard still has snow, but it is melting!
So unusual…I forget what the tubular part is called…gyno???? Interesting that top & underside of petals and sepals (?) are differently colored.
It was the contrast of colors that I found so striking, chocolate, burgundy-pink and white.
It’s called ‘gynostemium’. Orchids are supposed to have 3 sepals & 3 petals…so this is an unusual one…..it’s gorgeous.
Thanks, Alice.
Just read it’s called ‘nun’s orchid’ or ‘nun’s cap’.
Yes! Must be from the white underside. Glad to see it has spurred your interest. 🙂
….(just about) everything concerning nature does…iPad’s are so awesome for ‘look ups’
Lovely, and a perfect antidote for your still wintry weather! I think you need to build yourself a little heated conservatory, Eliza!
Thanks, Kris. I think you may be right!
Beautiful! Is it one that you grew? I love all things nature too.
Thank you, this is from our local college conservatory.
That’s a lovely orchid, Eliza! Aren’t they a welcome sight indoors in the almost-Spring!
Yes, they are. 🙂 Thank you, Peter!
Wow! Always such a pleasure to come to your blog.
Thank you, Laurie! 🙂
Now that’s a beauty!
Thank you, Sue. A real eye-catcher! 🙂
Isn’t it just! 🙂
Just lovely! My little sister have a natural hand with flowers, somehow that made me not learn so much about them. (I’m sometimes a little too practical.) Edible gardening was aways my thing, and flowers her thing. I’m learning.. I appreciate the beauty of flowers more for every passing year.
Thank you, Maria. Sounds like my older sister and I – her veggies and my flowers.
That’s funny !
Beautiful – I was thinking of dropping by one of the big greenhouses or indoor gardens if I can get some time this week. It would be nice to see some life again!
Thank you, Sarah. I don’t think I could get through our long winter without visits to the greenhouse. It’s good therapy!
Lovely orchid! My father’s passion was growing orchids so every time I see one, I think of him.
Thank you, Jo Ann. A nice memento, then.
Exquisite Eliza, and they last so long don’t they, how wonderful!
Thank you, Agnes!
A lovely orchid, a little on the wild side😊
Thank you, Belinda. Just the way I like things! 😉
Such delicate beauty.
Thank you, Fi. It is a beauty, for sure.
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Beautiful photo ~ I’ve never seen an orchid like this before.
Thank you, Randall, it is not a common one, for sure.
Wow! A very impressive shot!
Thank you, Hien!
