Even the orchids know.

That winter has run out of puff, these buds will be flowers soon.

Quite a mild winter this year, only a couple of cold mornings more than a month ago. but we've had a fair number of days that never warmed up to anything.

I find our orchids a bit odd, they look very ordinary in real life but the flowers actually make excellent photos. They've helped me to appreciate nature's beauty, as I never took much note of it before some genius invented digital photography and allowed the ordinary person to take whatever pictures they want.
