Orchid

Mintaro, Clare Valley

For as long as we've been staying at this group of cottages
this orchid has always been in flower when we've been there
in the autumn. The owner says he does nothing special to
get it to flower - it just does! I am so envious of him
as I've never had luck with them, though I've only tried once.
All the roses we have to look after, Its best I don't even
think about trying eh!

I believe this is a "Vandy". I had one that bloomed like this and filled the room with its fragrance. I lost it in Katrina and have never found another like it. Orchids do better for me if I ignore them completely.
