I have many orchids outside my kitchen window. I wish they could all bloom at the same time, but I’m always happy to see even one in bloom. This week, my orange Vanda is showing her true colours.
I read that this orchid represents “good fortune and happy blessings”, so I smile every time I see her through my window. I’m linking this post to ‘Cee’s FOTD Challenge‘.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. Take care and be safe.

Thanks, Issy. I have more on the way. ๐
So lovely! I always envy my sister…who lives in Florida…and has orchids.
Thanks, Sandy. Yes, they do like it here. ๐
Good fortune & happy blessings to you, Sylvia!
Thanks so much, Nancy. ๐
Beautiful! Wishing you a wonderful weekend too, Sylvia!
Thanks so much, Donna. ๐
They are good eye candies and give a pausing moment every time you look out and see it, I am sure. They are lovely!
Thanks, YC. Yes, very good eye candy. ๐
Beautiful!
Thanks, Uts. ๐
Absolutely gorgeous orchid … it looks like a happy smiling face.
Thanks, Gerrie. I like that, ๐
Wow! I never saw an Orchid like this. Thank you!
Thanks, Resa. Glad you like her. ๐
A beauty!
She’s always beautiful.
Thanks, Carol.
A beauty indeed, Sylvia. I understand about wishing theyโd all bloom at once, but then theyโd all be done at once, too. May be nicer to enjoy less of them over more time?

Vanda’s are wonderful orchids
Yes they are beautiful when theyโre flowering. Thanks, Marylou.
What fun I have when I stop by for a visit, Sylvia. Beautiful flowers, wonderful friendships and great discussion. Thank you for creating a place that showers joy in our community. โFlowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine to the mind.โ Luther Burbank
Flowers and music are two of lifeโs greatest pleasures, Rebecca.
Amen!!!
Absolutely stunning beauty! My favorite color ๐ Just for our pleasure…”happy blessings” to you and yours!
Thank you so much, Marylou. I can see Vanda winking at me as I sit here with my feet up, contemplating the weekend. ๐
They are beautiful. ๐
Thanks, Lynette. I do love orchids, but all flowers are beautiful. ๐

Thanks, Lola. ๐
She is a beautiful orchid, Sylvia!
Thanks so much, Lavinia.
No wonder she has such a good name… that beauty would bestow good fortune just looking at it! ๐๐ค๐
Thanks, Marina. I agree with you. ๐

Orchids! How very beautiful Sylvia
Thanks, Eddie.
That is so beautiful.. amazing..
Thanks, Lisa. ๐
Gorgeous, Sylvia. One of my orchids at home, that has kept its blooms since the start of the pandemic, has started to lose its flowers, but I know it won’t be long it blooms again. Sadly, all of my other orchids are still in my office downtown. ๐ฆ
Thanks, Jill. The flowers do last a long time, fortunately. I have a mini Phalaenopsis which has been flowering for months. I hope the orchids in your office are still doing well.
Yes, thankfully they are being well cared for by an officer who is required to report to work. He’s discovered he has a green thumb. ๐
Yay!! ๐
Sylvia how wonderful that these beauties can grow outside. Growing orchids in Canada is a finicky indoor process for those with green thumbs only. This explains why I don’t have any. However my Mom is an orchid whisperer. Have a great weekend and enjoy that lovely bloom.
I’ve been called an orchid whisperer too, Sue. I do the opposite of what the experts say, yet all of mine bloom, shed and bloom again.
I find mine do best outside as they don’t like the air conditioning inside. I’m not keen on the dryness either, but it’s not possible to do without it in Florida. ๐ฆ
