Orchids are all over and in full bloom. I keep finding more trees with orchids tied to them.
More and more people seem to be doing it. I found a lovely new patio this morning with
orchids tied to every tree around the patio. This is "Apricot Nectar" Phalaenopsis Orchid.
"White Cloud" Orchids seem to be floating above the tree branch.
"Mystery Mask" is a new variation on the white with purple splotches/
"Lilac Lily" is a very soft and delicate lilac color.
"Annabel" is a mini-white orchid, but it has several clusters of blossoms.
"Annabel" Mini-White Orchid
"Lilac Cascade" hangs gracefully from its stem.
"Purple Phantom" is an interesting mixture of deep purple, lavender, and white.
"Anne of Brittany" is another of the lovely lilacs.
"Sunburst" is a glowing gold with wine throat.
Another stem of "Purple Phantoms" at Building 5.
"Radiance" is a larger variety of "Sunburst"
"Anne of Cleves" Orchid
"White Bird of Paradise"
"Beatrice d'Este" Purple Orchid
The "Orchid Tree" at Building 5 is loaded.
"Vivian Leigh" Orchids
Several stems of "Vivian Leigh."
"Purple Rain" is living on the giant ficus "orchid tree."
As I was finishing my walk, something caught my eye in the distance - a brilliant pink tree.
So I walked over for a better look, and it turned out to be a pink tabebuia with more
blossoms than I have seen before. You can see that the leaves have not yet appeared
"Pink Tabebuia" blossoms up close.
