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.
This gorgeously flamboyant Flame Tree really brightened our morning walk today. I think all the rain we’ve been having has really done it some good.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
Seen on our walk around the neighbourhood, a heavenly band of ‘Angel Trumpets’
and a whole village of ‘Toadstools’ that must have magically sprung up overnight.
Wishing you all a very pleasant weekend.
Here’s my seat where I sit and converse with my three goldfish. I sometimes wonder whether they get bored swimming around in the same small pond and wish that they could get out into the big wide world, or maybe like myself they are content for now to be confined to their own safe space, out of harm’s way.
This was my comfortable seat yesterday, savouring a glass of Prosecco whilst contemplating whether my Easter Bunny should live or die. Sad to say, he did not survive the day.
I hope your weekend was also enjoyable.

This Vanda Orchid on my pond has blossomed yet again only three months after the last time.
Have a beautiful Wednesday.

Hubby and I will be dinner/dancing tonight. Wishing you all a very happy weekend and Valentine’s Day for those who celebrate.
I love having these colourful Inca lilies to greet my visitors and our local supermarket always has them in abundance. This beautiful flower also known as Alstroemeria and Peruvian Lily, originates from South America and was introduced to Europe in the 18th century by Swedish botanist Baron von Alstroemer.
Wishing you all a really enjoyable weekend.
This is also for Cee’s FOTD Challenge.

I have several orchids in my lanai which for the most part seem happy to be just green leaves. I often engage them in a very one-sided conversation, encouraging them to please try a bit harder. They appear to ignore my impatience, but just when I’ve almost given up hope, they surprise me with gorgeous flowers.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
Our ‘Tropic Escape’ hibiscus has been flowerless for a while, but this week she’s decided to show us what she’s capable of. Her exquisitely delicate flowers look like they’ve been carefully crafted out of the finest tissue paper. What a pity that after all that effort, each beautiful flower only lasts for a day before closing up again, then wilting and dying. We should really appreciate Nature’s miracles whilst they last.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
