I Figured I Would Give A Quick Update ..

Since I do not have a lot of time today. I woke up this morning, and was letting Molly outside, got her fed, and then let her out again. The second trip out is usually the longer of the two, so I have time to kill. Most of the time I just stand there, inside or out, watching the old gal trot around the yard looking for the perfect spot to poo. A Glamorous and exciting life, I know.

So I was just chillin out waiting.. And decided today to look over the Orchids. Nothing new with all of the other Orchids, except Pepper's white Sympathy Orchid. That one is blooming and another one of the flowers has just opened. With this opening, it will leave only one more bud to go/open.

They are all still lined up in a row, with one peaking out from behind another.. like a group of curious three year old's viewing their first dinosaur exhibit. Still as beautiful as ever. Pink on white - simple and elegant.

I will update you again when the final flower opens. As for the others, they are doing well and are all happy on the Orchid wall. Another in the bunch is preparing to open those flower buds. Not quite plump and ready just yet. Can't wait to remember what color it is. hehe.

That's It For Now! ..

I'll check back with you all again soon. Until then, remember to check out the Orchid Lover's Community, Join, and Post about your Orchids, or your Love of them. Enjoy the rest of your day/night!!!

“Is that an orchid?" I asked, pointing to a particularly unattractive small brown plant.
"Maxillaria tenuifolia," said Sonali. "One of my favorites. This little brown orchid is a species. Not as spectacular as a hybrid, but very satisfying nonetheless. Its charms are quite powerful. Come closer and smell it."
I leaned over the ugly brown plant.
"Coconut pie! How is that possible?"
"Wonderful, isn't it? She doesn't need bright, flashy colors or spectacular sprays of flowers. Her pollinators, the moths, come out at night. She uses her coconut scent to guide and entice the little moth in much the way we use perfume to entice men in nightclubs and cafés."
Sonali winked at me.
"You can learn much about how an orchid is pollinated by the way it looks. White, pink, and pale-green flowers usually get pollinated at night, since those colors are easily seen under moonlight. The little moth sneaks up on the flower in the middle of the night like a lover. He lands on her, pollinates her, and then leaves. We've all had that experience, yes?"
"Yes," I said, thinking of Exley.
"Brightly colored orchids, on the other hand, are pollinated by butterflies and birds. Butterflies prefer red and orange. Bees love orange and yellow all the way through to ultraviolet."
"Just like certain men like certain color clothing," I said.
"Yes, colored petals are the clothing of flowers. The insect must find a way through those petals to get what he wants, like a man brushing his hand through the layers of a woman's skirt.”
