Of Orchids, Passion and my Bleeding Heart


"




Three weeks ago, Mark my husband and I went for a romantic promenade to the Bronx Botanical Gardens.

The flowers magical and spiritual forces emanate their powers and illuminate our path.
I needed desperately to be in a garden.
Look at flowers and particularly at orchids, one of plants that I am fascinated about .
Years ago, on my only visit to Brazil,since I left in 1976, we went to the Jardim Botanico in Rio de Janeiro where I spotted my wonderful flowers and stories about Orchids.
I love to grow orchids,which I did years ago,with a fierce interest,but lost them all through my
non stop moving .So I read books and take photographs when I have the opportunity.
Here a few of my latest ones.
