In your gardens

@jennyss

At this time of the year we are well into our Dry Season. November brings our wet season (maybe). Our block has not had a downpour since March and so our garden, in spite of reticulation, is looking sparse.

However glory of glories, my orchid house is looking luxurious with lots of growth and flower buds.

I have been watching the buds on this orchid for over two weeks. This morning it has burst into flower.

Look closely into the centre of each orchid flower to see the very delicate yellow and striking purple hues against the white of the flower.

This one I call Fairies Aprons. I like to think that my Garden Fairies (they don't exist, but I like to wish) would wear these while they flit throughout my garden.
