Description
I am enchanted by orchids. They are whimsical, fantastical, surreal and the manifestation of sheer beauty. I am incredibly fortunate to live in Hawai'i, where I can grow a myriad of orchids from all over the world. I put them in the yard and since most only bloom once a year, the reappearance of their blooms gives me great surprise, as often, I forget where I have put them. This is a species orchid that I no longer know the name of, but am honored to have it bloom again this year and gift me with the pleasure of its beauty.

So fun.....and how cool you can just plant them in your yard. I never grew orchids....but love their beauty.

Many thanks, Jeff. So good to hear from you. Here you don't need to do much except hang them in the trees and let them do their beautiful thing.
