Friday flowers


Friday again and so a pretty orchid to show you. I brought it in from the back yard the other day and the warmth of the fire is helping it open pretty quickly. I love the look of a blooming orchid in the house.


I am participating in "Friday lovelies" again over at Joyce's blog, I Love Pretty Little Things where she is providing links to pretty photos from other bloggers. Go take a look :)



Oh look, there's Harry Horse! Do horses eat orchids? Hmm, best keep an eye on him...

Dont forget my lace pendant giveaway! Entries close next Wednesday evening the 26th May Aussie time.
Cheerio bloggies! Have a lovely weekend!

  2. I love orchids. I have one pot that has three stems just waiting to bloom...as for the other three pots...some extra attention is obviously needed. You've done such a lovely job of capturing the beauty Sarah x

  4. I love orchids, this one is gorgeous especially in that sunlight. Is it flowering early? For some reason I thought they flowered in spring? I could be so wrong, either way it's lovely to be able to take them inside. Have a great weekend Sarah : )

  21. Hi. I am visiting you from Joyce's Friday Pretties. Oh my. The photos of your orchid are simply breathtaking. How wonderful to have something so beautiful to grace your home. And I would keep an eye on that horse if I were you. Smiles. Hope you have a beautiful week.

  22. I just love the pictures of your orchid! My mum has many orchids flowering in her garden at the moment. Loads of buds just waiting for a little more sunshine to flower!
    I really hope that mine flower this year in Spring. I transplanted mine last year and they didn't flower.

  33. Gorgeous, gorgeous orchid, and, it's HUGE. The biggest orchid I've seen in a private home.
    Mine always die. That sounds like I have nothing to do with it. Maybe I should say - I always kill mine. Because I believe it's something that I do or don't do.
    That horse rocks. No pun intended. I love it. Was it handed down to you or did you buy it.
