This orchid has been blooming like this for 6 weeks. It is truly amazing

Just a little bit late for St. Patrick’s day - but we went back to get one more cymbidium. I think that that will be my cymbidium purchases for this year - time to turn my attention to some of my other flowers. I have a couple more cattleya orchids coming in this next week and I have made a daylily order. This is my favorite time of year for choosing “new” flowers. What fun it is!

Here is another of the cymbidiums that Pat bought me a couple of days ago. I am experimenting with taking hdr pictures - and this is the first one I have posted on this site. It’s kind of cool but I have a lot of learning to do

This is one of the cymbidium orchids that Pat bought me yesterday. The full name of this cymbidium is a mouth full. It’s [Summer Love ‘GS 1116′ X (Moyra Easton X Via Wiley Coyote) ‘Pink Jewel’] ‘Yellow Moon’. Totally intimidating!

But it’s gorgeous and I love it. I took it out into the yard in front of the gazebo for the photo.

This is my husband’s post on his blog Techquisitive from yesterday.

I made a run to the grocery store for milk and coffee only to be confronted with an enormous collection of beautiful cymbidium orchids, one of my wife Jean’s passions. It was such a varied offering I had no inkling which she would want. So I took this picture with the camera phone and emailed it to her. Then I called her for her decision. She chose the yellow on the left and the pink on the right.
