An Orchid is a flower...But not all are created equal.

Love the song.

But this is about the flower itself.

Actually, 2 flowers.

I was at out local Home Depot buying paint.  When checking out I saw this display with Orchids.

This picture is very close to the actual size.  It is a bit smaller.

I have seen many Orchids in my day, but never anything so big.

Then...

This little guy was also in the same pot.  Had not seen two different ones in the same pot before.

But, I bought one and my wife loved it.  Maybe I can go fishing this weekend!

Bill - I LOVE orchids!  So elegant!  If my husband brought me some home, I'd let HIM go fishing...!  ;)

Well, William...you did the right thing. Just showing that you were thinking about your wife in a home improvement store is a wonderful thing. That coming from a woman's perspective of course. Your flower pictures are really nice, but I can't wait to see some big fish. Take some pictures of the heavy catch this weekend.

William, How neat, I have never seen two different ones in the same plant! How nice! (So, are you going to get to fish?)

In the kingdom of the flower realm, orchids and lilies are among my favorites.  There is something so delicate and exotic about them, which isn't easily matched elsewhere.

I can't say I have seen anything that big before either.

I have not seen one this big before and that you foud it at Home Depot is also odd.
