@Chris:

Yeah, yeah- not in the US.  We know.

I was mostly thinking of the UK to be fair. But hey, if the cap fits…

This orchid is one of the early winter bloomers around here, Schomburgkia sp. Some flower pink/burgundy, some orange/brown and some yellow/orange. Very hardy plant.

Getting several blooming stalks this year out of this Schomburgkia orchid. These are hard to photograph because their super long stalks bob endlessly in the lightest breeze. Today we had particularly still air and that was an invitation to get some pics.

Air was still enough to try a quick hand-held close up…

Wow….

Lovely photos, guys - some beautiful and exotic plants we definitely don't see here in the UK.
