They are not long, the days of wine and roses

"I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers".  ~ Claude Monet 
I was overwhelmed by the beauty in bloom at the LA Arboretum last week, a SPECKtacular place I'll be going back to visit again soon!

Wild orchids

Orchids have a kind of magic, whose secret will always elude us. A mysterious blend of witchcraft and romance, that sets them apart ~ above all other plants.

My orchids (in order of photos) Phalaenopsis, Cymbidium, and Dendrobium. Silk blouse ~ Theory, silk tie ~ vintage Boston Trader, jewelry ~ all vintage gemstones from my collection.
