A sacred moment

I went into the wood late in the afternoon
when the sun was low.
The birds were singing their lullaby
the mosquitoes were humming...
And there - at this secret place
under a fallen tree
the queen of orchids appears.
The birds are singing,
the mosquitoes are humming,
my heart is beating,
filled with joy and gratitude.


Enjoy......

Very nice

Thankyou Milda

A beautiful plant! I have some young seedlings, I cant wait until they bloom the first time. They look so much like our parviflorum, but much more sun-loving.
