Tiny pink spotted orchids
These tiny pink orchids (anyone know the name?) are only an inch or 2.5 cm wide, and you can see they are dwarfed by the phanaenopsis orchids and maidenhair ferns in the background. Aren’t they adorable? I saw them just yesterday in Volunteer Park Conservatory. By the way, I’m getting closer and closer to getting my new book to the printer, and flowers and the Conservatory will definitely be involved! Stay tuned.

I found out the name of my flower: Cistus purpureus description: This semi-hardy low growing shrub is suited to sunny dry borders. Deep purple blossoms are borne through out the summer, complimenting attractive dark green foliage and spreading habit. 1.m wide x 80cm.

Your orchids have patterns what in Borneo, we called spider orchids. May be when I am retired, i will volunteer at a place like that. I even have a boy friend there. http://annkschin.blogspot.com/2011/03/sunday-stills-colour-blue.html
LOL Now you know why I visit the place so often.

The tiny orchids are the most interesting and beautiful of them all.

Orchid is not an easy plant to grow, so I always admire people who knows how to make them bloom so profusely.

Congratulations on your forthcoming book. That orchid is so beautiful, maybe it is a hybrid of an Oncidium species.
