It’s Orchid Time Again

Carol 15 Comments

Here in the USA, it’s Thanksgiving tomorrow. I’d like to thank you for your friendship in the last year. Your dropping by is always appreciated. Today I just want to say thank you and share the beautiful orchids my friend Beverly grows. Beverly lives in south Florida and has a tropical garden. I’m thankful for her generosity in sharing the photos, and I hope you enjoy them.

Now I’ll end with a beautiful sunset.

August Orchid Mania

Carol 24 Comments

Photos are courtesy of my friend Beverly in South Florida. I personally can not grow orchids. They always die. I do love orchids and enjoy flowers grown by friends.

Today I’m sharing four more photos from my friend Beverly. It is a blessing to see beautiful orchids growing in tropical Florida . One began to flower at the end of July and several others joined in in the last week. Beverly calls it her orchid mania. She has so many beautiful orchids. I hope you enjoy the exotic flowers.
