Orchid Close Up.

We've had a bit of sunshine today although I haven't been out the door apart for the garden. Changed the bed, did laundry and some thorough cleaning in the bathroom so I haven't been totally idle. Some body maintenance and a lot of lying around reading as usual. The orchid I got on my eightieth birthday is flowering.. It's kept going for five years now which I never expected. I have another new one which I hope is going to do the same. Pleased to see the leaves on a small tree I planted earlier this year have coloured up nicely for autumn.. I knew they should but it's nice to see it has  really happened.
