Orchid With a Pouch
Here is another type of orchid, which carries a pouch in the front of it. The first time I saw this orchid, I was overwhelmed by its beauty. Now, you know why I love visiting the Belle Isle Conservatory?
I always seem to find something new in this Conservatory to enjoy and learn. I love the colors combination in this orchid. Everything seems to have its own purpose or responsibility. The speckles on the top petal add more charm to its unique look.
I love all flowers, that's all I can say, maybe some more than others, but flowers are just beautiful, fanciful, elegant, colorful, and magical. I don't think I can ever have enough of flowers.

So beautiful and unusual! The pouch reminds me of a carnivorous pitcher plant that traps insects.

Nice job! I think you're right, your blogging stuff is starting to rub off on me. We used the same Mosaic template today!
ReplyDeleteWow Icy, you find some of the most incredible flowers at Belle Isle. I wonder what is the purpose of the pouch.
ReplyDeleteOrchids are always nice! I've always been fond of lady slipper orchids! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow! How beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful photo. This is what is called a lady slipper orchid or a Paphiopedilum orchid among growers and enthusiast.
