The orchid fully open in all its glory!

Such intricate beauty - I'm dead chuffed with it.

That is gorgeous! Brilliant photo, too. I do love orchids, but they don't grow for me. My mother and my niece have the magic touch, though.

I am amazed this one flourished. I am useless with any sorts of plants, generally - black thumbed as opposed to green - but this seems to like neglect.

Very pretty.

I ordered a (replica) Victorian radiator today -- in Farrow and Ball Olive, with a very steampunk valve arrangement.

Ooh - I look forward to seeing pictures of that.

They've promised to have it ready for me around mid-January.
