In
November of
1995 Joe Rathbun
and I went
to Taylor
Orchids in
Monroe and
I bought a
phalaenopsis
plant that
had already
set a flower
spike and
subsequently
bloomed for
several months.
And then,
for all the
intervening
years, it
grew larger
and larger
... and never
bloomed. |
 |
| This
winter, for
some reason,
it saw fit to
send up another
spike - and
here is one
of the blooms
- 4" across
and likely to
last for months. |
 |
| Another
surprising flower,
blooming in
the front garden,
this lily which,
I'd swear, I
moved from the
other side of
the garden,
it is the offspring
of a yellow
lily called
"Lotus"
... but here
it is blooming
quite white,
with marvelous
red dots in
it's throat
... I can't
quite figure
where it has
come from. |
go
to July
6 or back
to 2003 |
