    Default something a LITTLE different

    Heres something that I have had for a couple of years .It is known as the Easter orchid and it native name is Raupeka.It did flower for me at easter.This is the second plant and also the smaller of the two that is flowering now.Sorry about the quality of the photos but I am unable to do better as the flowers are so small ,about 1/4 inch across and it is soooooo fragrant(honey suckle)
