You know you're really a photography fanatic when someone gives you a bouquet and the first thing you think of is "PICTURES!!!" 
I have the nicest boss, and she brought a lovely little bouquet.

Of course, the matching red-haired girls had to pose with that.

Looks like she's found some treasure in the middle of the flower. (The florist actually put glitter on the central one. Never seen that before.)

Nicely colour-coordinated, 'Princess Scarlett' is back for an encore.

Then, my beallara orchid decided to make only its second spike ever, and my newest little supermodel is also perfectly colour-coordinated.

It was crappy lighting, and freezing, but even on a 6-degree December day, doesn't she look tropical??

I have decided she must be Polynesian...
(yes, I think about Hawaii a lot this time of year... I loved it and I hate the cold!)
Alas, no more outdoor flower photos... several inches of snow buried my nice green backyard in just a day.

Tried some indoor photos too... still don't love the light but with her darker colouring, I love the way she photographs!!

(And congratulations on your beallara flowering! It's always a great feeling when a plant that hasn't bloomed in a long time, puts up a spike...)

) I can't help but favour Scarlett. She looks SO pretty in that princess dress
