Delicate petals
Defying appearances
Wears summer colours
Exotic fragility
Braves winter to reveal strength

Sue Vincent's Daily Echo 
I love orchids. When you look at them at the correct angle, they appear as angels in flower form.

This kind of orchid is called Phalaenopsis. For those of you who are interested in mastering the cultivation of Phalaenopsis, you are very welcome to read my very detailed post entitled “Phalaenopsis: Novice’s Orchid, Mother’s Day Gift and woodlandgnome’s House Plant”, which is published in my other blog at https://queenslandorchid.wordpress.com/2017/06/20/phalaenopsis-novices-orchid-mothers-day-gift-and-woodlandgnomes-house-plant/
Please enjoy! Happy New Year to you!

I remember years ago reading about a blind woman who had a green house and cultivated orchids.
