Of Orchids and Pheasants...
« on: February 04, 2007, 04:40:19 PM »
My Chocolate Orchid is blooming...




And my orange catt is getting darker as it ages...
was bright school bus yellow, now getting more of a rust color.


A visitor this afternoon, in a recently plowed field near our house.
Took this by poking my head through the sunroof of my car, so as not to spook him.
And worked the zoom on my camera to its fullest capacity.  8)

Wow, awesome pics.




Question about orchids.  Walmart isn't probably the best place to buy one, but ours just got several in price range of about 14.00, think that is what it was.  Pretty cheap, should I be weary of buying them there.  They were huge and blooming.
