Pink Moth Orchids

This beautiful specimen is a Phalaenopsis Orchid, better known in some circles as the 'Moth' Orchid, and was one of many species of exotic flowers found blooming throughout the Opryland Hotel.


As I walked around the hotel grounds in and out of the many canopies, bright pink and white blooms, and occasionally the subtle lavender blooms of the Moth Orchids greeted me. There is no doubt that every time one lays eyes on the stunning colors of this Orchid, a smile surely comes to your face. ENJOY!

Vanda Sansai Blue Orchid!


Just a little bling from the Conservatory at Biltmore. Wouldn't it be great if these beautiful orchids were jewels? Yes! ENJOY!

Beauty Is In The Eye!


The Conservatory at Biltmore yielded quite a few beautiful, beautiful images. This is one of the gorgeous Orange Orchids blooming inside the Conversatory when I visited earlier in August. There were many beautiful orchids, but this one is my favorite. I love the orange orchid with its deep red center. If you live within 500 miles of the Biltmore Estate located in Asheville, North Carolina, I urge you to visit just once. That's all it takes. And then you'll wish to return and soon. And as an added bonus there are several entrances to the Blue Ridge Parkway on the south and east side of Asheville. Within an hour or two you'll be viewing beautiful mountain vistas. I would love to see the Fall colors along the drive I took to Craggy Gardens along the Parkway. Perhaps some day. Stay safe tonight New Englanders. ENJOY!
