Now I'm here to catch up on the "novelties".<br><br />Lately, visiting your blog meant seeing pictures of places, animals and plants I had never seen or heard about before. And this time is no disappointment. This plant is gorgeous and definitely full of surprises.<br><br />I've also had a plant in my room at all times. It's like a little corner of nature and the closest thing to a pet I used to be allowed to keep.Laviniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077833136741791230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626558959674808582.post-40503200050544836492011-03-15T00:40:36.543+02:002011-03-15T00:40:36.543+02:00Thanks Des!

I know orchids are parasitic, living off the stalk and nutrients of other plants...<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. It's still quite cold here in chicago. All I've got to show for the promise of spring is some barely green mossy stuff on the soil near the house and the very tips of crocuses.

Most interesting is that the two parts of the flower seem almost unrelated in color and shape.<br />P.S.
