Taken in my #garden today. The birth of a new #orchid. Amazing detail and design when you look close

Great #flower in my #garden at the moment. This #orchid not only looks good but is what my late uncle gave me. It #flowers the same time of the year on the anniversary when he died

Looks like our #orchids are getting ready for a great #garden #show soon. Pull them out into dappled winter sunshine

‪When replanting #garden #orchids group them together in the centre of the pot as they #grow outward. Some cut the leaves by 2/3 rds ‬
