The beauty in most things lies in the details. Every day, your garden will reward. These little orchids are related to the indigenous "virgin" orchid. They belong to the dendrobium family.
One of my favorite plants- the Iron Cross Rex Begonia. It is well known for its striking foliage but I had never seen it flower. The flower is surprisingly colourful. Which means that this plants takes itself very seriously- it packs a good wallop in visual stimulation- usually with strong foliage, the flower tends to be insignificant. The rich rusty colours perfectly complement the greens and browns of the leaves.

Wow, each one of those pictures is so interesting. The orchid is one of the prettiest I've seen, with the lavender spots. The texture on that begonia has me dying to touch it. And the pineapple? It's just so cute! Thanks for sharing these!
