100: orange

Orchid

19: holly jolly

today i visited my awesome midwife, and while i could probably easily spend an hour photographing the extraordinary amount of flora to be found in her yard, this rainy afternoon was not the day for that...  

i did capture a few images, however, and these turned out to be my favorites~

along the walkway:

Chinese Holly, 'Dwarf Burford' cultivar
Ilex cornuta

 in the waiting area:

'Lightning Splash' Moth Orchid
Phalaenopsis hybrid

orchids are my favorite flower, so i couldn't resist this beauty.

and i can promise that there will be more to come in a couple of months, when Orchids Galore! comes back to Lewis Ginter...
