Mini Moth
This is the latest addition to the living room decor. It’s a miniature ‘Moth Orchid’ or phalaenopsis. The colors range from pinks to yellows to greens with a pattern of tiny maroon stripes and dots. There are three flowers on the stem with more to come. I think it’s very beautiful. Click on the image to enlarge.

Spring Hummingbird
Last week when I was over at my Mom and Dad’s place, I spotted this little hummingbird gathering nectar from Mom’s miniature orchids. He was seemingly unafraid of me when I grabbed the camera and took several shots of him, this one being the best of the lot. Sorry, no larger image since I had to crop this close-up at the original pixel density.
The Bargain Cymbidium
