  16. Beautiful pictures and what wonderful words to go with them! I love the sentiment— bloom always… wherever you find yourself.

  20. There is a growing quietness in these difficult days – as though there is nothing more to say; simply endure, stay strong, do what is right, enjoy beauty where you can, be patient. Your orchid images say the unsayable well! Blessings on you and yours in this hazardous phase; you’re where we in March… prayers for safety all around.

  26. Those are stunning!! We only have one orchid in the house. My oldest kid rescued it from the greenhouse of the biology dept where he was an undergrad (they were tossing it out). It didn’t do anything for a couple of years and then it finally bloomed just last week…but it’s totally boring (plain white flowers and no scent) compared to yours. 😀

  30. ‘Beauty blooms from fire.’ Love that, Cindy — thank you for reminding us that it’s the difficulties we face that make us strong enough to go on. Such stunning flowers — and you’ve captured them beautifully!

    1. I hang a black bath towel from a closed window and voila’. Your kind comment made my day Niki and yes I do grow orchids. They thrive in sunny windows and make great gifts. Take good care my friend დ

      1. Oh wow. I’d never guess that you used a black towel. Thank you for sharing that. So you grow these. So amazing. I know these are hard to grow. A friend’s dad used to grow orchids. These are just gorgeous. =) Thank you again! *hugs* ♥.

  40. Cindy the orchids are gorgeous… but your words are even more beautiful. “Beauty blooms from fire.” I’m reminded of a scene from David Copperfield, the young woman telling him “Only the good steel makes it through the fire.”
    Wow, just look at the number of your followers. Visual and statistical proof that you’re brilliant. Hugs on the wing!

  44. A beautiful collection! I have orchids in my house (not as beautiful as these though) and I try to add one or two every year when they become available. It’s so rewarding when they bloom again after taking a break. I’m always happy to see the new buds. Wonderful photos, Cindy.
