ORCHIDS








I took most of these pictures in Hawaii. In case anyone hasn't figured it out yet, I love taking pictures of flowers! And I love flowers, though I am not a gardener (I am allergic to bees) and I do not like to get my hands dirty. I know I could wear gloves, but I don't like the way they feel. A little strange, perhaps. Still, I am content to take pictures of other people's flowers. The thing I most like about orchids is they don't look real, with all of the strange shapes and colors they come in. They are truly a magnificent creation.

Hi Tamerie,
These pictures and the pictures of the hibiscus are so beautiful. I love how papery the hibiscus look.
Oh, I really love your new white beauty that you finished too. I hope your fingers heal quickly too.
Hugs,
June

Funny that you say "they don't look real"..., that's what I thought when I saw the first pictures..., "are these real", I wondered. They are incredibly gorgeous! And I don't do gardening either.

I think I love the last picture because they kind of remind me of absolutely beautiful spiders, if there is such a thing!!

I love that you can find beauty in gardening by loving others flowers! It is so nurturing...
