Orchids!

 An amazing friend who I knew from a job years ago had the misfortune to have her husband die and to have a bout of illness herself. I arranged to go over to her house and help her water her (two greenhouses) orchids. The job was easy (just a portion of one greenhouse to do) and I was delighted with the beauty all around me. I'll share some of it here. Still, I can't help but wonder how she will manage... the plants are magical but have absolute need for the right conditions.
