Thanks so much for the acorns and thumbs. I don't have but a couple of orchids but I think this is my favorite.

Thanks so much, Sue. DH and I bought a large canvas at the craft store and painted it black to use as a background for some of the indoor plants, which seems to work well.

Very pretty banner. At first I wasn't sure if it was an insect or a flower, but after closer inspection I realized it was an orchid. Obviously I don't know much about orchids!

Arlene, that is funny! When I first saw it I thought it was a flower covered in bugs!
