Vanda tessellata x Yip Sum Wah is the gorgeous new little flowers opening up. The scent is just so sweet. I could smell it before I got to the plant. #Vanda #orchids #flowers

#Brassavola nodosa 'Lucky' x Brassavola cucullata 'Primera' (appendiculata) is the long way to say B Yaki. I must have snagged this at Art Stone awhile back. Lucky me! #orchids #flowers

Vanda brunea is another scented orchid that I love. The color on this one is just as amazing from the back as from the front. #orchids #Vanda #flowers

Tomorrow I visit a koi store and begin the "trade big standard koi for little butterfly koi", time. Then I hire a landscaper to clean up and spray the orchids. Then it's on painting till my eyes bug out. Late Spring And Time To Do A Koi Sale youtu.be/aD7W2p7AJwk via YouTube

#Stolen This is the funniest bleepin' thing I've seen all week. Sat and giggled like an idiot for way too long. #BearyScary

#happymothersday2023 ! This arrived today; hand carried by a friend. He is so talented and I'm so excited to have it in my home. #Art #ArtTherapyGroup I love it...it's so my colors!

The greenhouse pond loves it's water lilies. Time to put a second pond on the side for another color water lily. #greenhouse #waterlilies #flowers

#Dendrobium season is here and it's spiking gorgeous! I love growing Dendrobiums in Florida. Sit near a watering head and put slightly under the eaves shadow and bam, spikes! #flowers #orchids

Water cascades off my shade cloth into the dendrobium pots. Even Den. Lorrie Mortimer is getting going for the summer. #Dendrobium #Cattleya #Vanda #flowers

It was time to get some new eyes on the front door. The new security system is up and running. #frontdoorsecuritysystem #orchids

Meanwhile, back at the desk. The sun is setting... #pointillism #circlism #acrylicpainting

Almost finished. She needs a name and a few little touches. #pointillism #popart #circlism #acrylicpainting

Need some new tunes to chill with while the world goes off the rails? These guys are #brandnewmusic that for some reason I'm hooked on. Just had to share them... #chillvibe Spooky (Cover) feat. Ani Khajadourian and Zeev Nitzan Ginsburg youtu.be/CgYXXKWGfMg via YouTube

The pond is now officially the butterfly koi pond. There was a huge clean out today. Soon baby butterfly koi will arrive. It should be much more colorful and easier to clean. #ButterflyKoi #pond

The monster #Dendrobium got dragged out and sat next to the pond. It's one happy plant! That fish pond water is doing it's job. #orchids #flowers

Now that the standard koi have been removed the smaller butterfly koi are going to be added. This one and another larger oddball joined the #ButterflyKoiPond today. Next will be the fry. It's an exciting time at the pond.

It's hard to see in the bag, but the larger koi is a half and half. Right at the midline it's split. The bottom is mostly creamsicle and up top that black gin rin with some red. #ButterflyKoiPond In the pond that mix of color is gorgeous!

Some people whine they have nothing to do and no friends. This lady got some manikin's and started a band. These are my new favorite videos ever! Grandma Marla's lip-synching video #920. The Byrds singing Turn Turn Turn. youtu.be/A8pRRWumBeg via YouTube

From my neighborhood: nextdoor.com/p/WGbPhjPbf6Jr… I'm sharing this with every outlet I can. If you are in Pinellas County Florida you want this team on your job! #landscapers

So no more pond or orchids. I woke up Friday with a left leg that has gone awol. It's been coming for awhile, but it's time gimpy sits down. Hopefully the specialists can help with the pain. I will update you all soon. #SeeYahSoon #Bleep
