A greenhouse orchid
pretends to be a peacock,
fanning its proud tail.

    How utterly beautiful! I had a rose bush that had red patches that eventually turned yellow as the rose matured.

    Orchids are so exciting, aren’t they!

    And as to the fall crocuses on my blog, you said you had never seen them. They aren’t really crocuses, is what I understand, but they are called fall crocus. They are so welcome at this time of year!

    it’s not too hard to see why the Greek etymologists called them ‘orchid’ huh 😉
