ABC Wednesday - O



O is for Orchids

The first two pictures were taken in the beautiful gardens in Singapore Airport





and the next two are my orchids at home - and yes they are easy to grow!







Thanks to Mrs Denise Nesbitt and her team who host ABC Wednesday. For more looks at the letter O - please click here.

Beautiful orchids. Yours are every bit as nice as the ones at the Singapore Airport, even if you don't think the location is quite as exotic. LOL
I swear I gain a pound every time I see your blog header. That bread and jam...yum!!

Kay, Alberta

The Orchids are beautiful. So glad to see you can grow them, and I didn't know they were easy to grow.

The airport have a team of people looking after the orchids and a small nursery. There's a few outdoor garden with flowers like sunflowers, and cactus around the airport. Did you managed to see that?

mrsnesbitt said...

Beautiful! I was once given some as a present and they lasted for ages.

Jay said...

Wow .. that's the airport? Isn't it lovely? Quite different to ours, huh?

Yes, orchids are easy - at least phalaenopsis are. Otherwise, I wouldn't have any, and if I did, they wouldn't flower again every few months as they do! :)

Lovely! I wish I could keep them going! It's one of those plants that I just can't keep alive..
