ORCHID TREE

,

  

Orchid Trees are in their full glory this month.

This row of trees is part of the landscaping at Cape Harbor Marina in Cape Coral.  It's just down the road from where we live (or in this case, down the River — we were there for a Boat Club lunch earlier this month).

 The guys talk boats and fuel up boats.  

The ladies walk about and shop and take pictures.

We all eat! 

Life is good.

    We had one of these in the yard of the first house we owned in Ocala – loved it. They only trouble was the blooms didn’t stay very long. I would have liked if the tree bloomed all year!

    We’re leaving Friday to stay in a house we’ve rented in Cape Coral, Florida for the month of February. If this is the same area, I hope I can get to see the beautiful orchid trees in person.
    Thank you for linking to Mosaic Monday Sallie.

    The orchid trees give very beautiful flowers. It’s nice to see them this time of year for me since all I have is bare trees and snow.

    I like how you live your life, Sallie – an appreciation for nature, sustenance, and friendship. PS I have two dormant orchids – they want to come to FL.

  28. Dianne

    And here’s me trying to grow orchids indoors. Very annoying to see this tree in all its splendor covered with the darn things.
