Why Did I Do This!
While at Costco yesterday, they had just brought out several racks of orchids for Valentine's Day. I love the yellow chids and they had these two...of course they are grown by large wholesale growers (Costa Farms) and never have name tags.... So if anyone knows who they are, I know you'll let me know!
I must also say the photographic color rendering is off...sorry
This has a purple lip
This has more of an orange blush lip

Howard, you do it because you're such a softy and you can't pass up pretty orchids  
Am I on track at all?
OOh I think so!

They're gorgeous. And you did it because you just couldn't help yourself...and they called your name. Probably threatened you too

You ask why you did and I ask, why they don't have these in my neck of the woods. I'm going to Costco tomorrow. |

Doc,
Maybe it's a Jekyll and Hyde thing!?!?!? If so, the question is, which is which?

You don't need to ask yourself why. You do it because you truly love orchids and nature in general.
Don't fight it, enjoy it. Beautiful phals shouldn't be passed up no matter where you find them.
