I'm Back!

That's great Paul. I used to do the MS 150 ride to Key Largo 150 in 2 days. I did it for a few years than the collecting became too much of a hassle so now I run marathons. Now I dont feel like a bill collector.
Anyway back to your orchids...it may be a plain colored bloom but it more than makes up for with character reminds me of springsteen's song "growin up" ( when they said sit down I stood up)

Im having a little trouble with real world Re-entry but my chids are helping me through it

I once walked by a mountain bike before.
Seriously, Wow!!!! Kudos to you!

Glad you made it back. What a great experience that must have been. How many riders were there in your group?

Thanks for the pic of Perreiraara Motes Leprechan 'Haiku Mint'. I bought one at a show in January. It had just finished blooming. I hope it will bloom again soon, as I was told that it may bloom twice a year.

Welcome back Paul. Congrats on a challenging ride. Once upon a time I used to bike. Rode tandem with my hubby. Then I got old and fat!

Love the blooms! Especially the Zygos! Great colors! Are they fragrant?
