Orchids

Every since accepting a housewarming present from my old roomate, Jess, I have been obsessed with Orchids. She got me a pink Orchid that now sits at the window in front of my kitchen sink. I am forced to look at it everyday due to the fact that kitchen sinks are a must in everyday life. The following picture was taken a few months ago when it only had a few blooms. I need to take a current picture of the 8 or so blooms it has now. It's just beautiful. I'll post a picture of it when I get the chance.














I'm trying to pin-point why exactly I fell in love with Orchids. I used to be in love with Birds of Paradise. That is yet another odd looking flower that compares in uniqueness to the Orchid. I think it's the delicacy of the petals and the intricate shapes, patterns, and colors one little bloom can make. There is a sophistication in the look of the Orchid. It makes me feel older, wiser, and more mature than liking Daisy's or Pansies. The Orchid is like no other.

I found this picture at Gettyimages when I was feeding my addiction of beautiful photography and Orchids...
