There is a wonderful conservatory where I live…
Winter season with its gray skies and cold days had me seeking green plants and COLOR last weekend.
I took over 100 photos but don’t worry, I will only show you a few!
I thought this sweet flower was an orchid but it is not…
It is a Bleeding Heart Vine. I had never heard of it, have you?
Of course there were some lovely orchids:
I like looking at the flowers but also the shapes, patterns, colors and textures of the plants themselves and the ones next to them.
The above pink flower is a Flamingo-Lily.
And I’m sure you recognize this flower!
Yes, it is the Bird of Paradise, also called the Crane Flower.
I loved the textures and color of this Urn Plant or Fendler Bromeliad:
And loving the bright green of the Coleus next to the red:
There were a few Tulips and Daffodils in pots in anticipation of Spring:
The Conservatory also had some interesting cactus but I will save those photos for another day!
One last photo for today, just look at the colors and different shapes!
I hope these photos encourage you to take a minute to notice nature around you today.
Cheers! 😃
P.S. I will show you my progress on my Priest Lake Sampler painting next week!
