Beautiful photos and thanks for sharing. You certainly have colorful roads! I am happy to see such a bright sight on a day when the snow is still coming down and temps are way below normal here!

Wouldn't it be nice to have all that warmth and sunshine? My orchids would love it! Especially the vandas. We have it quite a bit warmer than Silken, but we hardly see the sun during the winter.

Very nice photos!

I recently saw a series of pictures with someone who was working with the seed pods of this species and they were ENORMOUS! Makes sense because of the size of the plants.

Wonderful place where an orchid on the road makes the news. I love it!!!
Great orchid too. Just gorgeous.
