Let's appreciate the beauty we have

 

The big Kalanchoe

Leaves in foreground belong to this flower (propped up by giraffe head), Leaves seen in midground are from plant with bright pink/purple flowers.

This pot has the orchids with the most blooms...the yellow variegated ones...with purple centers and spots on the petals.

The same plant, here showing how she's branched out for possibly more blooms but none are open yet. All the buds on the main branch have opened. They are touching each other this year. I haven't fertilized these plants, but do give them a bit of a drink every other day because they're near the heat which dries things out.

Last Friday with snow on the roofs still. Perhaps some ice on roads. I'm appreciating my flowers.

Today's quote:

There is a beauty in discovery. There is mathematics in music, a kinship of science and poetry in the description of nature, and exquisite form in a molecule. Attempts to place different disciplines in different camps are revealed as artificial in the face of the unity of knowledge. All literate men are sustained by the philosopher, the historian, the political analyst, the economist, the scientist, the poet, the artisan and the musician.
