The bougainvillea is way in the background of the first picture and is almost the same color as the rose.   O0  The orchids clash a bit though.

I'd love to see more photos of your garden, including the architecture. From the teasing around the (quite lovely) flowers, it looks well planned.  @O@

These are a dendrobrium and a phalenopsis?

I think the colors don't clash.

I'm in Houston where it gets a little warmer than I'd like sometimes.   ;)

Sunbeam, they are all phals.  As for the garden, it's very small I could get the whole thing in a single shot if I didn't focus on the small things.   :)  Just trying to accentuate the positive (there are some spots that need attention).  I will post post more pictures.  There's a pond.   O0
