My Paphiopedilum (Venus slipper) stopped blooming yesterday. This spring it bloomed for the 1st time since I purchased the #orchid in the winter of 2023.

I took a photo of the orchid's #flower earlier this month.
A photo of a venus slipper flower (Paphiopedilum). The orchid's flower is mostly dark red, but the red petals have a greenish edge. The dorsal petal is white with dark red spots/blots. The labellum (= the lip, i.e. the "slipper part" of the flower) is dark red on the outside and yellow inside.

Sadly, people litter at least as much now as they did in 2019, when the photo below was taken. ☹️
The photo shows trash floating in a pond. The items looked clean, so presumably they'd been thrown into the water recently. There was a trash can right next to were I stood as I took the photo.👎😠
A photo with the text "it should be obvious that it is wrong to litter". On the photo there is trash (a plastic bottle, a plastic bag, a coca cola can, an orange juice carton and a rubber ring from a beer bottle) that is floating in a pond.

Last week, I planted 2 Hippeastrum bulbs, but only 1 of them is developing stems. 🙁 Oh well... here's a 2014 pic of Hippeastrum #flowers.

Here's a photo of waterlily flowers to celebrate the fact that I've just joined Bluesky.
