A Rose is a Rose....

WOW, WOW...is about all that I can say; Sheila, these are simply breathtaking; absolutely stunning. My mother's favorite flower is an orchid, but when we were growing up,, I did not know that there are so many different kinds. Here in Washington, DC, I visited the Botanical Gardens during an exhibition of several orchid variations and it was a fantastic beauty. I did take some pictures, but these photos of yours are so life-like and make me want to touch and feel them (smile). Annie
