Earlier today I stumbled upon some lovely orchids in a homeware store, and I immediately thought of you ... It made me re-count the number of pots I have (which is almost 50 even if I don't count 'temporary' ones like some seedlings I plan to trade or give away)...

Oooh, that's a good way to get orchids for cheap, when the stores discount them as the blooms drop.  If you get them between then and when the store finally kills them, you can get a good deal if you know what to do to save them.  Many of mine are rescues. What all do you have in your 50 pots?
Glad you liked the photos too!

So, winter hit with a bit of a blast, dumping a foot of snow on the weekend.  Monday I spent 3 hours digging out, including an hour trying to start the snowblower, which hasn't been needed in several years, so of course it was no surprise that it didn't start.  Sometime I'll have to get that dealt with.  Power shovels are only good for light snow with a tailwind...
Anyway, today I got motivated enough to emerge from my cave and take some pictures.  It was "only" -3 but my fingers & toes were frozen by the time I was done.  Bleepin climate.



Petra being a snow princess.






She's so cute.



Catalina got the rest of today's shoot, because I wasn't doing another wardrobe change.  I suppose the people who drove by may have wondered what I was doing crouching in my driveway...






The snowplow pile, about 3.5 feet high.



Then we went in the woods.












Light's going and one of us is frozen.  Time to go in.

Thanks for looking!
