Ornamental Orchids.......




Orchids are seen all over Meghalaya.....In fact we get about 300 if not more varieties of orchids here......of which the Lady's Slipper orchid is suppose to be the state flower of Meghalaya. They fall under the more expensive varieties of flowers so its usually a pinch to the pocket to buy them..... Thats why more often than not they are also called ornamental flowers. Nevertheless for plant lovers like my mother its never an issue......Among the few varieties of them that we have, these have bloomed and well as i tell everyone else someone has to be there to admire them......so here I am with my cam......these were two proud displays of my mother at home. Beautiful Indeed!!!

How beautiful. I can't imagine having an orchid plant in the house. Must be nice to be able to have them. I do have some African violets.

Just as I wonder
whether it's going to die,
the orchid blossoms

and I can't explain why it
moves my heart, why such pleasure

comes from one small bud
on a long spindly stem, one
blood red gold flower

opening at mid-summer,
tiny, perfect in its hour.

Even to young craggy poet, it's
pure peace...
