My daughter is the queen of orchids and grows really neat varieties. The color on this one is hard to describe. 

As you can see the bloom has some real variables in the color scheme. 

I enhanced the border around one bloom to show its true beauty. 

See a lot of neat flowers at the above link.

I was over to my daughter's office because her orchid is blooming.

It certainly has a beautiful flower.

She also had another plant in bloom. She called it Peter in the Pulpit. It had a hooded green bloom which started white.

Here is a look at the final bloom. It is called spathphyllium per Carver & Lorac. It is also called a Peace Lily.

Here are some more flowers I saw on my Europe trip. We were gathering to tour Mirabell Palace Garden in Salzburg, Austria. This little flowering tree begged for a photo. The wife and our new friends Mary and Dave are just behind the tree. The palace is right behind.

The hanging blooms were just beautiful on the tree.

This is the garden where part of "The Sound of Music" was filmed.

The gardens were not in full bloom but you can see some of the beauty to come.

I couldn't get Mrs. Fishing Guy to twirl but she did pose at the fountain where the childrens and Jule Andrews danced.

Visit a lot of neat sites to see above.
