That Oncidium Gold Dust is just lovely, Laurel. None of us would have noticed the dog hair if you hadn't pointed it out, kiddo!

I did manage to drag DH and my brother to the Botanical Garden in Gr. Cayman yesterday, but none of the orchids were in bloom - not a single ONE! I was disappointed to not have at least one bloom picture to post for all. If we get back there in the spring, May or so, it will be a sight to behold. They have a whole section of forest there simply dripping with thousands of orchids of so many kinds. Catts and Oncs and Dens and Brassavolas. They even have a decent sized - 6ft across or so - specimen of Grammatophyllum Speciosum in a huge basket right at the entrance.

This shot is a mass of Myrmecophyla just enveloping the middle of a pretty little Wild Jasmine tree. Neat to see how it looks doing it's more or less 'natural' thing.
