A Face in the Flower
Posted on June 14, 2009 - Filed Under Uncategorized
Imagine wandering the world and finding this face in the jungle. It is the color, the way it holds its head, the attitude of this flower that amuses me. A green queen.
This one has its own butterfly, printed right on it. My girl and I gazed at all these beauties at an orchid grower near us. We took a class, with a group of orchid fanatics. I wanted to journal all day in there, but it was crowded with enthusiasts, and frogs. Big frogs leaping around the colorful faces steaming under the greenhouse roof.
This one kissed a pansy once.
I am going to play with the palette in this one. Reds, purples, yellow, orange, green, this one has it all. A real show-off. And wild, like an animal.
My sister and mother were just here for a visit. They got tired of my orchid talk and asked me to stop. No one here can do that, it is my blog, so I am going to tell you a few things. There are 27 kinds of orchids in Colorado, and they are blooming now. One of them is vanilla. Betcha did not know that your favorite ice cream was flavored with the bean of an orchid.
This is a lady who can help you with the rest of your questions: Linda, the Orchid Lady.
