Two Orchids and One Lavender

(Click on images to enlarge).

I have a lot of orchid plants ….. they are difficult to resist acquiring!

Two are in bloom now.

I think this is Guarianthe Aurantiaca. The orange colour of the blooms is amazing.


This is Phil the Phal (Phalaenopsis)

 He has his own name tag:



When we stayed at La Terraza Guest House B&B in December, 2022, I helped myself to a cutting from a lavender bush growing there. It took a few weeks to root in water and I then potted it up in soil. It’s flowering now and both the flowers and the stems have a wonderful aroma.
