March 20, 2014: The Gaudy Ones

The Gaudy Ones: "Perhaps a bit gaudy and pompous, and not as modest by far as lovely wildflowers, we hope you enjoy looking at us anyway, exotic though we may seem."

The orchids are pleased that some people liked them. It's funny, but not even bees or flies come to visit them. They are simply there for show, and they do provide that. - Happy Solstice and the coming of spring to all. :)

Lovely Photo, Christine! You can almost feel the velvety texture of the petals. I can actually see a face in the central blossom. It seems to be sticking its tongue out as if to say, "I'm prettier than you are". Hmmm, you may be right about "pompous" :-)
