The unbelievable beautiful purple orchid. It's finally blooming in it's third year. And of course, there is Willow checking it out. She was very gently sniffing the flower. She keeps her distance and doesn't chew on them Thank goodness.

I can see how people get obsessed with them. The anticipation of the first bloom is worth the wait.

February 23-28 at the Orchid nursery in I think, Villa Park, IL has an open house and need to stop by. It's the perfect place to go when it's cold and snowy out.
