Wet as wet..

after last nights deluge it continued raining all day but thankfully  seems to have eased off a bit now.  We have however escaped lightly with a State of Emergency being declared in some areas of the South Island and more heavy rain expected overnight.  Thinking of all those affected - keep safe. 
A very long time ago I used to grow a lot of orchids and this is one of the few I still have.  Fortunately it has been inside out of the weather and the first buds have just opened. 
Thank you to Biker Bear for continuing to host Flower Friday
