Alas, I visited the beautiful Eastern Shore in Virginia this past weekend. As much as I love plants, this place was still beautiful without plants everywhere. It is an area that seems to be cut off from time. I was sad to return home to find that I'd left my favorite gauchos and my camera! It is being shipped to me, so I'll have to contain my eagerness to post until next week.
And while I was gone, I returned to find a glorious cattelya blooming. It's a deep red, large bloomed orchid. What a delight. I hope it lasts until I get my camera. Of course, some of you may have heard me say I want to get a real camera, which I kept telling myself I really needed all weekend. Could this ordeal of being without one be the selling point that forces me out to get one?
