phalaenopsis

I really love orchids. It might be because we had some sweet dendrobiums in our wedding. I think they are absolutely lovely. To my shame, I have an orchid plant that has been knocking on death's door for the last few months... but Tim let me get this new phalaenopsis so I could try again. Hopefully this one will last longer, and I will get better at taking care of my sweet orchids.

flowers!

Even though pink hasn't been my color of choice since I was about five years old, the beautiful flowers that have been blooming in gorgeous shades of pink and purple have made me rethink pink.

I have fallen in love with magnolia trees this spring. I really enjoyed seeing them bloom in our neighborhood this year.
I can't remember the name of this lovely little yellow flower.... if you know, please enlighten me.
Rhododenron or azalea maybe? I have been trying to learn the names of all the flowers that I have been enjoying on our walks.... then maybe I can plant them in my own garden someday. For now, I'm happy with my little window garden and taking photographs of the lovely flowers in my neighborhood. I'm excited to see what will bloom after this weekend's rain!
