Little visits in our garden

We got through winter unscathed this year. We've had some rough winters since our move to the little yellow house. We've had plants freeze and die, we've had frost, and one year we even had a thin layer of ice on our patio table. Where we live, just forty minutes from the county we were both raised in, is actually in a different "zone" as planting standards go. Sadly, we found all this out the hard way. This winter was mild here, and the one time that I did bring ALL of my Orchids inside must've been the right time, because all but one of them is blooming all at the same time. They are beautiful and lush. It seems that those few days spent at the "kitchen spa" (where they hang inside) was just what they needed, a little "incubation" time! Here's some shots of the current blooms...
