Dear Fellow Waysiders,
I’m not sure how this has happened, but I seem to have been appointed the unofficial put-photos-on-the-blog person. Thanks to everyone who stopped by this morning to tell me how "good" my gangly Hydrangea The Swan photos looked (I know a backhanded compliment when I hear one, 
but I’ve decided to take it all at face value!). Somebody must have told Alice, who brought these Orchid shots by and asked if I had time to get them up.
So, these are the 4 Phalaeonopsis varieties Doc has been working on. Very soon they will be offered on the website, presumably with the first offer through a newsletter. I think there’s a group working on naming them, but I don’t know their names yet. My favorite is the white with the deep blood-red center.
Oh, and Alice says that these aren’t the "final" shots. Apparently she just grabbed some Polaroids off of Ron’s desk. They look pretty final to me — definitely more artistic lighting than my poor Hydrangea got yesterday! I like the black background, too. I’m no orchid grower, but they’re really pretty, aren’t they?
And now I’ll stop gushing and get back to the salt mines.
Sincerely,
Kay Ravenel
