Pansy Orchid
I can get all the pots I need from him. So if anyone is interested, let me know.
Long Last Butterfly orchid
I have been searching for this Butterfly orchid for ages and low and behold found at the Winston-Salem farmer's market who would have thought.
Just want to share the picture with no text later.

Deliquent blogger
It has been so long since my last blog, I am sure my readers are unhappy with me. (hopefully I still have a few).
My vanilla orchids has finally lost its bloom. I miss the lovely perfume but have to be patient until
it blooms again. Patience is not one of my virtues

It has been a while
I know it has been a long time since my last blog but we have been on the road.
It is exciting to see how many of the cities in the U.S. are now creating arrangements with orchids.
We were in Houston, I was extremely impressed with the city, to find in their great Galleria mall, fantastic creations with orchids.
As one might know, there are hundreds of species of orchids and I wonder why all you see in the big
cities are the lovely phalaenopis in a variety of colors; now they are even dying orchids, which I think
is horrible, why would you do something like that to something that is so beautiful? in any case, I was told that the public do not appreciate orchids that do not last long.
I can only tell you that they are missing out on beauty.

Back home again
I have been on the road for a couple of weeks now. Tough trip, my associate had a terrible time in Toronto, his passport, visas, with all his money stolen. I guess visitors feel they are safe in a Western Country and do not expect this to happen. Quite a nightmare.
I came home to find many orchids blooming, I guess I missed the best of them.
Visiting L.A. in the Spring is something. Everywhere you go you see all kinds of flowers in bloom.
Of course we on the East Coast envy them the wonderful temperature and sun.
My sister's roses were just beautiful and again, orchids that are not even tended to, like we do, are blooming without much trouble.
Even the nail salons have beautiful orchids blooming.
I will be posting my other sister's l orchids hopefully before I leave again. She just moved from San Diego, and I can tell you she had some beauties.
More to come later.

Making up for lost time
It seems the weeks go by and I realize I have not blogged in a long time. No excuses, but I have been on the road. Mostly beautiful New York, however, not so beautiful when it is bitterly cold.
I have never experienced such cold. It would take me 15 minutes to put all the clothes on and 15 minutes to take it off. As I wait for the last minute sometime to do things, this was not good.
Any way, this time, I was fortunate? to see the inside of an emergency hospital with the drop dead good looking doctor. Not bad for someone that was sick. I am happy to report that I am much better and off to N.Y. and L.A. - New York is going to be cold again, but looking forward to L.A.
I must tell you there were no orchids in the emergency room however, they were everywhere else.
I asked a nursery the reason for various orchids not sold in N.Y., they told me that other varieties
do not last for more than a couple of weeks, and people complain. Too bad as you do not know what you are missing.
Off again, will try and be better at blogging.

Beast of Winter
Winter now seems endless. I have just returned from the West Coast, missed storms on the East and West that I am happy about, but going right into another one next week in N.Y. needless to say, not happy. I really hate the cold. Can not do a thing about it.
I have been in San Diego and Los Angeles, country is really beautiful, hope our wonderful Govt. does not ruin this beautiful country.
Weather was so temperate, orchids were so happy, could not believe the profusion of orchids that I saw.
One of these days, I am going to make my way to the Santa Barbara Orchid estate will take pictures and post them hopefully on the blog. That is a problem I still have posting pictures.
