Orchid

I went to KCC Farmer's market last Saturday and as usual looking for some good deals and some new ideas to plant or to cook. The sight of the beautiful orchids displayed in one of the booths is really breathtaking. I just have to have one at least to be displayed in the living room. It serves as an inspiration whenever I needed one. It also gives me happiness and contentment. It's a peaceful delight to be surrounded by such beautiful flowers.
I bought two plants this time and hope it will flower again after this.

    Hibiscus flowers are pretty but lasts only a day unfortunately. That’s why I have to take a picture of this fleeting beauty as soon as I see them open in all its glory. I took this while walking home from the garden. You’ll be surprised as to what you can find just by strolling around…
