This week we have reached the letter O
O is for Orchid
This is my favourite.
I took these at Kew Gardens in London.
The rarest were kept behind glass
which made it hard to photograph them.
There were towers of Orchids everywhere.
I wish I had made a note of all their names!
ABC Wednesday is hosted by Mrs. Nesbit.To take part or see other
participants visit Mrs. Nesbits place!
I love you O-post! Very nice Orchids.
ReplyDeleteMy ABC is here
Those orchids are absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOrhids are so exotic - good choice.
ReplyDeleteNice orchids. The flowers have finally fallen off mine.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! My sister has visited Kew. I would love to go when I can finally visit her. Are the blown glass sculptures still there? The artist spoke at my university graduation. Very odd man. Part of the speach showed a video of him in his bathtub. Naked!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful:) I love orchids!
ReplyDeleteLovely colours.
ReplyDeleteLovely idea.
Is it right that Orchids are actually part of the Onion family? I think that is so. We have many, many at work under glass and in our huge long hall of flowers and houseplants; it is nice to wander among them in the odd break from the office (looking at pretty women and pleasant Orchids, Lilies and a myriad of other colourful plants, and hearing our squawky Macaw, George too!)
ReplyDeleteGood pics Suburbia! Hope you had a nice day today?

Hello moments in suburbia.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you too!
Orchids are a little special, and you've captured them so well.
I will have to peruse your blog further. Refering to your daughter as Tall girl, justs makes me laugh
That is one variety of growing plant I have never had luck with, as well as jade and African violets. It seemed like when I was a little girl about the only kind of orchid a person could purchase was the type that was typically used for corsages. Now they come in every size and color! Your photos are lovely.
ReplyDeleteOrchids are such delicate flowers you have some beauties here.
ReplyDeleteImpressive and beautiful! :)

Beautiful orchids. I think I'm with you on the favorite! Have a great week....
ReplyDeleteThe Orchids are Bee-OO-ti-ful!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for this post. I couldn't think of a single word that started with "O"! I think my mind is going, but I try to keep that from my children. They are older than Small Sprog, but have similar ideas.
ReplyDeleteI'm being extra nice to eldest daughter-in-law because she is the one least likely to want to sign me into a home!
Glad that Tall Girl is going to be able to go to the school you wanted. I was fortunate enough that my kids were able to go to a good public school (the same place I taught), but there are far too many in the US where I wouldn't want to send my kids, either.
Beautiful!
ReplyDeletegreat pictures and great idea! and i'm smiling now because spring is around!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm. I can smell those blossoms from all the way over the other side of cyberspace!
ReplyDeleteMe again; I just noticed Archie on your sidebar. I've been meaning to ask how your rabbits are doing.
ReplyDeleteArchie reminds me of Harry the Hedgehog I had in another life on another blog platform.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are lovely. I'm a long way up North from you and the weather is like a proper summer evening at the moment! Your flowers fit in nicely. The Orchid is a beautiful flower, my mum loved them. I think I once bought her one in a globe... I have a hazy memory about it but I think she liked it. :o)
You know for a minute I thought you were going to say they were all home grown! They are lovely pictures!
ReplyDeletelike your rabbit!
Absolutely gorgeous, and one of the things I've never attempted to grow.
ReplyDeleteSnap! And I didn't take notes of the names either!
