Happy 4th!!

 We have been tweaking the blog and trying to make it all flow better, so I hope the dreaded "technical stuff"  is behind me now.
It is easier for you to follow  me now as it is on the first page.  After this the blog should come into your
email automatically.
I am always being asked about my orchid arrangements.  The top photo is a classic example of what I like to do.  I always incorporate another plant in the arrangement for interest.  Frequently I will use Tilansia (2nd photo) because it has a great grass- like feel as well as some additional color.  It adds a naturalness to the arrangement.  Even when Tilansia is  out of bloom, its still a great addition to the orchids.   The photo here is from the Bellagio Hotel's outrageous floral display.  The mass of  Tilansia made it take on a wildflower- like feel.  So pretty.

I am really enjoying a new blog that I want to pass along.  www.hungrygirl.com    They go into all kinds of  food related topics-healthy recipes, hidden calorie information, great places to shop for unusual products and so much more.  Check it out.
Hope everyone enjoyed the 4th of July...can we really be midway through the summer?
Enjoy it, because its going quickly!
