You could taste the softness...

I have never eaten a flower unless it was the edible kind but more often than I would confess, I have gently and slowly brushed a bloom's petals against my cheek, lost in the feel of its softness. The Vanda orchids arrived last week. Only two in a box. Their petals looked softer than antique velvet. I had seen the colour, this wonderful mix of dark chocolate and the royalest of purples, and knew I could not resist getting them. I had a client in mind who I knew would fall in love at the mere sight ~ and out it went for delivery.  

I lifted the remaining orchid to my cheek; it was even softer than I could ever have imagined; such is the beauty of a Vanda orchid.... njb

A Profusion of Purple...

The morning light tip toes across the shop's concrete floor and gently nudges awake each bloom.
French Lilac, Helleborus, Anemones, Freesia, Kangaroo Paw and Gloriosa Lilies.
Even their names hint at the promise of things to come.
Such is the beauty of flowers...
