Late winter...

As a rule, I don't really mind winter. However, in late January and February, I do long for some hint of spring. I try to remember to plant paper white narcissus.  Seeing them sprout, then watching them bloom, and smelling their sweet fragrance, is uplifting.

I've been enjoying them tremendously.  And then... my customer/friend brought me these beauties.

Fabulous orchids from her collection. She is downsizing and thought these would enjoy the light and humidity in my studio.  I think they are enchanting!

This guy came right up to the window and peered in. I think he enjoyed seeing the flowers blooming, too.
