Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

In the pink

 


Simply an amazing flower, in my humble opinion.

  1. Perfect. I read somewhere that we like orchids because their flowers are bi-laterally symmetrical, like a human face.
    Love the quote: I worked for many years with children with profound learning difficulties, I learned more from them than from any textbook.

    1. Thanks, these are the oldest orchid plants I still have. I think one didn't live very long. I do hope your day and week ahead are also most enjoyable!

    1. Yes, I'll have to share about it (the jar) sometime...it's got four elements representing four directions on it. I just love the pink flowers!

    1. They are pretty flowers, that just bloom on those long stalks, with strange roots below their broad leaves!

    1. It's a room with windows that let in sunshine in the winter...but not in the summer thanks to all the trees outside.
