:Today's Flowers#133 - Orchids

These are my MIL's orchids in Montalban which are just among their blooms in the beautiful garden they have.  My BIL takes care of the garden; he planted all the plants and flowers and had some landscaping too.  He has a green thumb in planting and every time we visit them we always takes some of their blooms to our home because my Mom loves gardening too. I even joked and asked them if we could  just bring plenty of pots there so they can include the pots when they do some gardening and we can just take them home lol! The latest we brought home last week was sunflower and a couple of fern-like plants.

:Today's Flowers #50

This is the white orchid that we brought home from our hometown in Laguna. My shot seems so dark as I took the shot in the evening with macro setup. My niece's hubby is growing some ornamental plants and flowers including varieties of orchids and my niece picked this one for my Mom as she knows my Mom's flair for beautiful orchids. Travel from Laguna to Rizal seems not so good for the orchid as after two days these blooms withered. It's ok as we have two whole plants with us. Just have to wait for the next blooms.

Happy Monday! Visit more beautiful flowers at Today's Flower => here.

:Today's Flowers #47

It's a good and happy Monday morning and I want to start it with my entry this week for Today's Flowers. I have this very exotic (for me) lavender and white orchid to post. I've always considered lavender as an exotic color though my Mom wouldn't have lavender colored flowers in her garden, it's not her color because she identifies it as flowers for the dead. Anyway for me it's very elegant and beautiful and though I can't have it on our garden I can have it here in my blog :-). This picture was taken in Nabas, Aklan together with many of my flower entries here! The soil was very rich there that's why flowers blooms beautifully.

:Today's Flowers #24

I love the soft color of this pink orchid commonly seen in southern tagalog provinces, this photo was taken in Cavite but my cousin in Laguna grow this kind of flowers in her garden. Actually every time I visit her house in Laguna she let me choose from her collection of beautiful flowers and plants. She has a 'green thumb' like my Mom and she spoils me with giving me what I want from her garden. After all she's like a real big sister to me because she grew up in my mother's house when Mom was still single.

Anyway, the last one she gave me was the red roses but unfortunately they stopped blooming when the road widening in our place started. The neverending pollution of dust and too much heat took its toil on the flower. Lately it took me several months to drop by our province so I hadn't the chance to bring home beautiful flowering plants but I promised myself I'll get some pink orchids, it's very expensive here in our place.
