"Slowly she opens
Her insides she reveals
Tumultuous her oceans
When she tries to conceal
Her colors astounding
Too insecure to display
With heart pounding
Upon vulnerability pray." -CA67-

Bonne journée à tous 🍸

"Another bud slowly opens to the morning light
At the sight of its center, pure delight
One more bud to open before the flowers fall
Enjoy the beauty whilst they still enthrall." -CA67-

She knew I needed a show of warmth & color, a bloom of #hope; one of our bedroom's #orchids spoils us in #flower.

Bon Dimanche

A few shots of my big-box phalaenopsis while it's in full bloom. It has a forked bloom stem and a few more buds coming! #plants #plantsofbluesky #orchids #phalaenopsis #orchidsofbluesky #photography

When one Orchid drops her last flower, it seems to signal the others to sprout new stems & air-roots.

I’ve had this tiny little orchid for over four years. This is the first time it’s ever bloomed. I’m thrilled. 😊

Here's a really cool orchid from the donor's house. It's called Yellow Bird and is either a Brassolaelia or a Brassocattleya.
She says it blooms all year long.

Did you know that Costa Rica has more than 1400 species of orchids? Here are two that we just planted, yes planted. These go in the ground! #orchidsofbluesky

Y'all don't even know how excited I am about my orchid! I killed my first orchid but not this one! #orchids #orchidsofbluesky #flowers

I think it's about time to move my Jewel Orchid cuttings into a bigger home.

Purchased these on October 10th. The little green one was a bit more established than the darker leaf one. I've had them under a glass dome in locally harvested moss.
