Spent the fourth on the whitewater river. Can't forget the work we've done to protect what matters.

The sun came out for the first time in days from the winter storm this weekend, the flowers are as relived as I am.

Long slender buds are are mottled purple. A white phalaenopsis blossom peeking around a leaf over a bud from the same stem, framed like the flower is using the bud as a hand to pull the leaf down.

One of the orchids I took over from my mom is in bloom, and I've never seen its flower before!

Unfortunately, she doesn't remember what kind of orchid it is. Brassavola maybe? 🌱
