Our dining area floral show

Our outdoor dining area is surrounded by the rain forest-ish part of our garden. It’s shady and lush with lots of bromeliads, orchids, and a huge philodendron growing up a tree. And at the moment, it looks like a floral show.

Our neighbors recently left Vieques to head North for the summer months and left some additional orchids in our care. Two of them have exploded with blooms since they’re gone and our first bromeliad of the season has put out its spectacular blossom. What better subjects to try out my new camera!

Gorgeous! Arthur & I had live orchids on our dinner tables at our wedding. We took three plants home, but only one has survived. They're a finicky flower worth the effort.

Be still my beating heart. That looks like some sort of Cattleya lueddemaniana hybrid and the other is definitely a Myrmecophilia humboldtii. Thanks for sharing this!
