Orchid show

This afternoon we went to the local orchid society's annual show. The first thing to meet us at the entrance door was the beautiful perfume. The room was full of equisite flowers and busy with visitors, orchid experts and enthusiasts.

Some of the people were as colourful as the flowers!

There were orchids of all shapes and sizes.

The Boy was kept very busy painting a plant pot before planting up a small orchid of his choice.

There were many tempting plants to buy, especially so when they have been labelled as suitable for beginners!

Which colour would you choose? I like these pale colours very much

But what a spectacular blue!

The muddy browms and yellows don't appeal

but I'm always a sucker for mauves, purples and pink!
