The parking lot is just about empty, but not the orchid house. This
time of year, it is filled with orphans dropped off by their owners as
they head up to wherever they spend the summer. Don't feel too sorry,
they seem to enjoy being neglected for the season, thriving in the
shade, and welcoming an occasional drink of water. Being that they
are so close to us, we can enjoy them from our kitchen window, and
walk across the parking lot to get a closer look whenever we want.
And, not to toot my own horn, but there peeking through the lattice
roof are the beautiful flowers of the sky vine, thunberria gloriosa,
that I planted next to the orchid house last summer. They are fast
growers, winding their way up the side and over the top in no time.
They seem to enjoy the opportunity to get out of the sun and compete
with the color offered by the orchids.
