\"Papilionanda<\/a>\"Dendrobium<\/a>\"Arachnis<\/a><\/p>\n

This year’s winter solstice arrives with darkness, cold, and a raging pandemic. I’m certainly ready to be rid of all three. The days will start lengthening tomorrow; if only there were such definite dates for the pandemic. Fortunately, vaccinations are starting. However many months we need to wait for ours, we will gladly get them when they’re available. In the meantime, these magical orchids are a great remedy for the winter blues. Most of these photos are from Dave’s trip to Singapore last year, when he saw Singapore’s National Orchid Garden<\/a> and HortPark<\/a>. The final three pictures are from our own California garden. Happy solstice and happy holidays, too.<\/p>\n
