Eliza Waters 
Lovely!! 🌸
Thank you, Shreya!
Oh my! That is one healthy plant, Eliza.
Thank you, Alys. Smith has a lovely collection, well cared for. 🙂
Pretty pink petals are made even prettier with dew drops or rain drops.
Thank you, Tanja. I esp. loved the effect of the water drops. 🙂
I did too.
Pretty in pink 🤣❤️🙏
Thank you, Mark. 🙂

Dainty and unique 🩷
Isn’t it a pretty one? So abundant in blooms!
So very lovely! Where did you come across them?
Thanks, Laurie. Smith College greenhouse has a great collection!
Now I understand why our native Calopogon tuberosus is described as being “upside down”! I’ve never quite grasped it before; these certainly are a gorgeous lesson in orchid structure!
Thank you, Linda. It is interesting how different ones evolved. The orchid house has so many great examples.
Such prettiness!
Thank you, Dale. A girlie girl orchid! 😀
Haha! That’s exactly what I thought!
That is a prolific bloomer.
Truly is!
Wow ! That’s another plant I’ve never seen before.

Be still, my heart — these are stunning! Such delicate colors, and the dew really paints them well!
Thank you, Debbie. I was equally charmed by it!
Oh, that’s beautiful! No words needed…
Thank you, Beth!
Lovely!!🙂 Did the greenhouse visit give you new ideas for the garden this year?
Thank you! It was more a sanity trip, to escape winter if only for an hour to enjoy the tropical warmth. A mini-vacation! 🌴
😎
The water droplets add a beautiful touch to those lovely flowers! I bet they smell wonderful too!
Thank you, Donna. The whole greenhouse was wonderful!
Beautiful image Ang flowers, love the drop details.
Thank you, Tom!
That is beautiful Eliza. So fresh and vibrant. Was it a botanical garden you visited?
Thank you, Cathy. A local college greenhouse, it always provides a respite in the depths of winter. 🙂
So delicate and pretty!
Thank you, Barbara!
Love this!
Thank you, it was a beauty!
So very pretty!!
Thank you, Maria!
Beautiful blooms! I miss the orchid greenhouses I used to visit at Longwood Gardens but 3 of my own orchids are in bloom, so that is something!
Thanks, Denise. Smith has a wonderful collection, it’s such a balm to visit the tropical houses this time of year.
