Flower Power Times Four

Phalaenopsis Nivacolor Orchid

All four buds have been completely open for two weeks. The inflorescence may last two to three months. Now that total enjoyment!

And in the garden........ Is Spring yet?

I'm loving the gorgeous colors of the Yuccas.

I've been enjoying this giant Magnolia on my drive home from  work every evening. I finally got the prefect opportunity to take two pics while waiting for the green light.
