Orchid Nebula

[jjjnettie]

:) I found that one of my orchids was in flower this morning.
Such an intoxicating fragrance.


Just added a wider field image to show the "Gourd" in the back ground.
tsk honestly, you guys......

[mishku]

The second thumbnail looks a bit sus... :eyepop: :rofl:

[asimov]

Very nice! Ummm yeah, I think I see what you refer to Bazz...:eyepop::rofl::thumbsup:

[jjjnettie]

:shrug: ?? fill me in.

[Rick Petrie]

I think they're referring to the fem shape of the vase? in the background.;):)
Imaginations running wild!:P

[mishku]

hahaha!! jjj, you dirty bird!!!

[asimov]

Bloody funny!:rofl::rofl: Sorry JJJ but ya gotta watch out for us blokes with 'wild imaginations!' :D

[jjjnettie]

I still don't "get it", what do you mean?

[Lester]

Tracking is spot on, and nice FOV giving perspective. But the second has me stuck for words. LOL

[asimov]

Bazz..? You may do the honours;):rofl::P

[asimov]

BTW 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder', so perhaps I'm seeing something different than what you other blokes are seeing...But somehow I doubt it LMAO!

[jjjnettie]

Mish see's it, maybe it's because I'm not a bloke like her. ;) (xox Stee)
Or maybe it's because it's been so long since I've .........spoken about anything other than astronomy?? Honestly, I need to get out more. :(

[bloodhound31]

Pass...I've said too much already.... ;)

You can pull the nails out, but the holes remain..... :P

[Ric]

Wonderful little flowers and a lovely capture JJJ.

I never seem to have much success with them though.

[jjjnettie]

All I do for mine is give them a little water every couple of days. That's it.
The Broms, Cactus and Succulents are the same.
Easy care.

[asimov]

They do tend to love QLD weather, for sure.

[Osirisra]

Nice miniture cymbidium's :) they alot hardier than there bigger counterparts.

[Liz]

Lovely pics jjj, havent got any flowering at the moment, but do love them.

did you work out what the guys meant?

Hard to understand their minds sometimes, but though it was the back pot they were talking about??

[mishku]

Aaaaalright, Nettie, it's time to come clean about the superhot photoshoot I did on your balcony.... Normally, what happens in Kilcoy stays in Kilcoy, but I can see we're causing much confusion, particularly for Stee :lol: :rofl::lol:

hee hee hee :)

[jjjnettie]

:rofl:
so many things I could say, but won't.
terribly upset Stee hasn't commented yet.

[jjjnettie]

Interesting avatar you have there Stee.
What's that all about?? :question:

[[1ponders]]

Noice JJ. for those wondering what the flowers are they are an asiatic orchid (Nepal, Bhutan, Northern India etc) called Coelogyne flaccida. They have an interesting perfume. Some people really like it, others say it reminds them of Tom Cat ah hum. :) A large hanging basket of them is a real sight to see.

[jjjnettie]

Oh, now I wonder if that's the reason I've had 2 different Tom Cats hanging around on my front verandah???
Really, could it be?

[[1ponders]]

Either that or they have taken a fancy to Rosie. Keep an eye out.
