Yes! They certainly encouraged mine. While viewing one of your beautiful images, I expanded the photo-thinking you had captured a bee in action. It wasn’t a bee I saw, simply the unique design of the orchid. That very same evening I heard about “Bee Orchids” and the purpose of the design is to mimic a female bee and attract male bees for pollination. Nature is amazing (…and the coincidences to learn!) thank you for the enlightenment! ❤️☮️😊
They are in a class of their own these beautiful dragons Cindy. Mind you, it seems so odd to say beautiful and dragon in the same breath. I love them, whichever variety they are 🤣❤️🙏
OMG!
LOVE this comment! დ
These dragons are stunning!!
Smiling. So happy you like them Liz & cheers დ
🙂
Wow! Impresive colors…
Quite a spectrum of nature’s hues and somehow they match perfectly! დ
Exactly, they are amazing!
Thank’s!

Adore the polka dots! The image looks just like a group of beautiful butterflies gathered 🦋
I love that image! ‘A group of beautiful butterflies.’ Orchids encourage our visual imagination as you just perfectly demonstrated დ

How fascinating and what a synchronistic coincidence! Nature is endlessly surprising.
Absolutely gorgeous! Are they yours?
They are not mine. They were in a flower show and selling like hotcakes! დ
I can see why everyone wanted to buy them. I would’ve brought home a few.

One of the things I love about orchids is that there are so many varieties of them and they’re all beautiful.
Agreed. And despite what people think, they are resilient and not difficult to grow დ
I have several of them and haven’t killed them yet, so there’s your proof.

Absolutely breathtaking!!

Yes! Birds and flowers can both be so beautiful they seem surreal დ
I’ve nothing so ripe as you, although, not mine but fair…
“What men or gods are these? What maidens loth?
What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?
What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy?
“Beauty is truth, truth beauty, – that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.”
You speak with eyes like mirrors are.
Wonderful Keats! The quote is so beautifully true. You write like the poet you are my friend დ
Absolutely flawless. Wow.

Back to my faces observation. Dragons work. The last one, however, is an evil queen in a long, flowing purple dress. 🙂
