Snow Orchid

I have taken the liberty of naming this orchid as I look at it and reminds me of snow with the hope
of Spring to come soon.  Not soon enough for me.
I bought this orchid over a year ago when my nephew came to visit.  I thought it would be difficult
to raise, but I have been so pleased - it has bloomed on an off for over a year.  It is part of the
Dendrobium family.  I do not care what family it belongs to, it can be mine. 
It is just beautiful to look at.
Enjoy the bloom as much as I have.

Bashful blooming orchids

Happy New Year to all my readers (if there are still a few)
This beautiful orchid had 26 blooms on it - but who is counting.  I think I would have won a contest.
Can not believe how fast this year went.  Unfortunately, I did miss most of these blooms as I was on
the road.  Thanks to Jim, I get the pictures.
It is such a thrill when you see orchids or for that matter any of your precious flowers in bloom.
It is like when Jim cooks a great meal really it gives us joy, especially when you are cooped up
on the East Coast in the Winter months.  More and More I appreciate L.A. (Thinking of being a spokeswoman for L.A. - what do you think)
