She Knows How to Put on Quite a Show! by Weezilou

She Knows How to Put on Quite a Show!

The most unlikely of flat, cactus-like leaves growing in a basket save all the beauty within to produce these spectacular blooms! "The prettiest I've ever seen" occurred this morning after an overnight shower! I tried to get as many photos and angles as I could because in 3 days they'll be gone!

(How are yours coming along, Lou Ann?!)
An interesting circle of stamen and all the other necessary items for a flower's centre! Wow!

Doesn't she just! What a beauty.

A beauty. Glad you had the energy to manoeuvre around to get this shot.

@ethelperry I wanted to get on a step stool, and Ken had his arms tightly around my waist! (THAT was probably the real photo of the morning! I could tell he wasn't relaxed about me climbing up a couple steps and leaning in!)

Dramatic in the rain, that's for sure!
May 25th, 2018  
So you had two strong and helping hands to get this photo :)

@ethelperry Indeed! There's a good reason he's the stronger half of my Louise & Ken page! I think your Michael is for you what Ken is for me! Thanks!

So beautiful Louise! I now have this vision of you up the steps and Ken hanging on for dear life! Life is never dull with you Louise! Lol! I am so pleased you have caught this fabulous flower in its very brief life! We have to capture the magic moments! Fav!

Beautiful! Right down to the tiny droplets on the fuzzy white bits...pistils? stamens?

Love it ...

So gorgeous! Oh Louise, our 14 degrees for a week killed so many of my plants, including your beautiful cactus orchid. I am looking for one here to put in a pot do I can winter it in my garage! I was devastated when it didn’t come back this spring. 😢
