Over the past three days we have been under a thick crust of sparkling frost. Anything I might have picked for my vase today is not looking its best so when I noticed the mid-afternoon, golden sunlight on Saturday, catching the blooms on our Phalaenopsis orchid, it occurred to me that it would make a lovely contribution to today's post. It is, of course, a pot plant, but sitting below it are the remaining few blooms on some Dendrobium orchids we were given in mid-September. Didn't they do well!!
There have been some cracking early morning skies this week. The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds. Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.





Beautiful, you made me realize I need one of those! Happy Monday.
ReplyDeleteThey are exotic creatures aren't they! A
DeleteOrchids in the house are fine flowers for this time of the year, and the white Phalaenopsis looks lovely in the low winter light.
ReplyDeleteI agree! Lovely creamy colour! A
DeleteGood to know you still have some blooms to enjoy - and I like how the light makes them look creamy yellow rather than white.
ReplyDeleteThe mid-afternoon sunlight at this time of year is particularly beautiful! Late afternoon - pitch black!!
DeleteOrchids do keep on blooming and blooming! They look lovely.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly do keep going! I can't believe how long the dendrobium orchids have been going! Since early September - bonkers! It will be interesting to see how long the white one lasts!
