Orchids.

Orchids are beauties which grow well in moist humid climate. That's the climate we have in Kerala (India). I took to growing these plants and found it requires lots of patience and orchids need care like babies. I will be sharing pictures of my orchid collection. It's a feast to the eyes. Well for me I can say, hope it captivates you all too.




Dendrobiums - These are commonly grown orchids. They come in combinations of mostly purple.
I am simply awed by the wonders in nature.

How do the ants know their way back to their hill? what kind of communication do they have to identify? Who taught the animals which leaves are poisonous? There are so many why's and how's and I always keep wondering. 

Here is a pic of a pupa I came across today. I always go through my garden every morning and I found this today. When did the caterpillar make the pupa? (Lol!! when I was asleep.)
