I had to go out to move my car this morning, and stopped to take a look at some of our new plants. This little beauty just caught my eye. She's small, but with such vibrant colors. At first glance I thought it was an orchid (and it's growing on tall spikes like orchids do), but now I'm not so sure, and I can't get close enough to examine it more closely, without stepping on other plantings.

Whatever it is, it's just beautiful.
