February Orchids
Most people use their patio furniture to dine outdoors but I use mine to display my orchids. This outside deck sits a little higher than our patio and I get a great shot of these orchids from my kitchen window. I get a chance to enjoy them and they are able to stay outside where they prefer it.
I didn't even know we had this little cutie. It has such a cheerful bloom in the midst of winter.
Here's one of my favorites - a green orchid. I love this orchid for its unusual green-colored flower and the frilly edge of the bloom. Green flowers are not all that common. I am lucky that this orchid blooms several times a year.

How lovely to view those pretty orchids from your window! It's hard not to have just a bit of zone envy. :-)
I have orchid envy! :-) I hope my little fellow fares as well!
What a display. So many great colors. I too have orchid envy.
Connie...I do enjoy looking at them. I find myself looking out the window often throughout the day.
Nancy & Gardeness...I've never heard of "orchid envy" before (LOL). They do love our warm humid climate.
Sheila...Thank you!
What a gorgeous collection of orchids. They look great perched on your patio furniture.
Lisa...Thanks. Yeah, I think they're okay there. It works for me!
You have a nice collection of orchids; I can see why the green one is your favorite.
