orchids on a dreary February day...



















A few weeks ago on a rather dreary day we put together a bright and festive orchid class at Nicolette's studio. My friends Barbara and Terry from Pine Ridge Orchids in Florida sent us a very special box of cut phalaenopsis and paphiopedilum. Students combined these rare gems with a smattering of cymbidiums, dendrobiums, and oncidiums to make bold and lush compositions fit for a queen.
