 One of my favorite Cattleya orchids is blooming,
so I've brought her in from the glasshouse.
Her perfume is quite intoxicating.

You know I can almost see a smiling face in that photo, or is it just me?
Gorgeous photo Zuzu, how I wish we could sample it's perfume.

That is drop dead gorgeous Zuzu. I have smelled those when I lived in Florida and it will knock you socks off, it is so nice.
And Frank you are not the only one who sees a smiling face.

Wonderful! I love flowers that have that contrast between bright colors. You are rightfully proud of this one.

Thanks all.
You're right Frank, I see a sort of a pansy-like face there too,  but just a bit bigger,
this one flower would fill your open hand, it's actually a bit larger than the image I posted.
