Buttttt... It's what is happing around the house these days, so why not take advantage of it. There will probably come a time when I have nothing Orchid related to write about, so I guess I will take advantage of what's happening today. This won't be a long post today. Your spared of the dreadful long reading your used to. I'm also breaking for lunch and have 10 minutes to peck away at the keyboard.
I was preparing to leave the house this morning .. when I noticed that Pepper's sympathy Orchid is really going bloom crazy. Looks like we are getting down to the wire on available buds. They are almost all open now. I looked back and it has been about 22 days since I posted about the first few blooms opening.
Here's a shot to jog your memory. This was 22 days ago. How cute, one flower peaking out from behind another.
Looks like there are another two, at least, that will open. Anything after 8 will be a bonus. As of today there are 7 fully opened. There are another few almost flower buds at the tip, but they never seem to develop past this tiny bud like stage. If you look closely, you may see the terminal end there between the two unopened flower buds (I made it easy and marked it for ya!).
It's sort of cool how they are all lined up.. Like little flower soldiers, keeping an eye out for friends or foe. I like the ordered look, and it sort of suits the color nicely. On the other hand I don't mind the chaotic look of randomly placed flowers either. Any Orchid is a perfectly placed Orchid.
Here's an angle I never think about shooting from.. From underneath. When looking at them from the back and underneath, they sort of remind me of Plumeria. I would much rather view them from the front, except I was down here picking something up and happened to look up and see this. The early light shining through the dainty petals.
Yeah, you remembered didn't you? We have a few more. I just did a post on them not long ago. Additional buds are opening here too; 3 on the each of them.
Well, that's about it. My lunch break is over and I have a ton of things to do. See you again soon Orchid Lover's!
“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”

My art work incorporates a wide variety of subject matter, including landscape, seascape, cityscape, and still life images. My works are the product of a continuing process of exploration through which I seek to portray personal and visionary interpretations of my surroundings. My paintings are impressions of places and events from everyday life, an interpretation of my imagination, and personal responses to what I see and feel on a daily basis. More recently I have invested generous amounts of time into my landscape painting. I am surrounded by natural and man made beauty, which inherently presents itself in the tri-state area, and almost demands that I paint it.
Not everything is art. Art is not everything, but it comes close. Art is everywhere and all the time. Art makes you experience the beauty of the world, the people in it, and the places we call home. Art itself is so influential that it can tell stories, show feelings, and express passion or fury. Art exists in addition to language; expression of sensations and thoughts, revealing a way of thinking too subtle and delicate for words.
For me art requires love, honesty and perseverance. In return, it reveals some personal, non-analyzable, and creative untamed passion. For the public, art with its magnificent beauty, improves mood and health and builds better human beings and communities. It engages the intellect, softens the heart, strengthens the soul and frees the spirit.
