Purple Orchids
I won't ever have enough of orchids, and the best place to go is at Belle Isle Conservatory. They have so many different kinds, but I love purple, so my stop from the last visit was at these beautiful purple orchids.
Orchids have always been very intriguing for me, since everyone I talked to, saying how hard it is to grow orchids. I knew I have black thumb, so I never did bother trying to grow them at home. I don't like to see flowers dying in my care.
It is a bit of a drive from my house to the Conservatory, therefore, when we were there, we often spent more than half a day, and I came home with hundreds of photos.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
I can understand taking hundreds of photos when you seldom visit a place - I do the same thing myself! I love the colour of these orchids!!
ReplyDeleteStunning, Icy. I love the color and what a great mosaic.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Icy...that's how I felt that day at Sloat Garden Center. It's a good thing we went early and no customers were there trying to buy orchids. I was monopolizing them for photography. These are gorgeous...and I love purple as well.
ReplyDeleteNot only is purple one of my favorite colors, but orchids are my favorite flower. Lovely shots.
ReplyDeleteThese violet orchids are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI just bought a few orchids and I thought too that they are difficult flower, though everybody says that it is very easy to take care of them. I'll see how easy it is.
Looking forward to see your other photos too.
These are very lovely shots of the orchids. I love this shade of purple.
ReplyDeleteOrchids are such exquisite flowers, the purple is beautiful. I do the same thing when I visit a place that I don't see often, hundreds of photos will be uploaded to my computer.
ReplyDeleteIcy... I always love your orchid photo collections and I always look forward to see those one of a kind variety.
ReplyDeleteYour purple orchids are fantastic. I love them too but they are expensive and I don't seem to be too talented at growing some flowers. :-)
