    Easy to see why the arachnoris carries that name. Lovely, all three.

    Yes, I LOVE that last one also. And to think...they live & bloom there in your yard! Wonderful, Jordan. By the way you've inspired me to take a trip next Spring to S.East Texas. I want to see the native Texas orchids in bloom. Betty :-)
