Today's Flower. The Philippine Exotic Flower


Philippine Waling-Waling
Orchid

The exotic and rare Philippine orchid.

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
An eternity in an hour
. ”

William Blake

Their lovely garden


Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful,
we must carry it with us or we find it not

Hi Denise. Thank you so much. I just visited your blog, beautiful one.
I'm not feeling well right now maybe because of the warm weather out here.

Those are two really cool quotes by the way. An in-law was just showing me a pretty yellow orchid...happy it's doing well. I was given two types of indoor orchids (that died)- the outdoor- no prob. One is the same color above I strung to an Ohia tree- beautiful

What a shame, I came from Philippines but I really don't know this is the Waling2x although I was surrounded by that kind of orchids. Very pretty. Thanks for the info and visiting my page.

Thanks for visiting my blog. I love orchids. This one is exquisite. We have wild orchids here too but nothing as grand as this one.
