They really are a gorgeous color, and I like the color you all have, better than the pastel one.

I finally took the bull by the horns and sprayed all my outdoor orchids with fungicide today Sighing! I've fought the good fight for over 4 years, and am tired of suffering so many losses to black rot fungus. The indoor orchids have not yet been sprayed, but I'll wait until they can be outside, and spray the whole group again after the next cold front is gone.

A few more flower pics today, Renate still opening her lovely little delicate flowers - funny how this color combination looks really garish sometimes, but on this one, it's just a really nice sunset. They fade nicely, too.

I got my new victims (ahem, members) for my collection from Hawaii today. Will post on the "what did we buy" thread.
