orchids arrive for Sunday's class

IMG_5070

A box arrived at the studio from Barbara and Terry at Pine Ridge Orchids yesterday - a package worth its weight in gold. Inside were 40 stems of the most unusual phalaenopsis orchids grown in Miami-Dade county on a farm dedicated to preserving a small slice of the remaining everglade pine rocklands.
I almost died. Then I got my camera out.
Sundays class has some very very lucky students...
