PhotoHunt: Narrow
This week’s Photo Hunter Theme is Narrow.
Orchids are my all-time favorites. I’ll let you in on a little secret: They are much easier to grow than most people would ever believe! Dare to buy some.
Orchids are lovely, delicate, elegant and vibrant. When they are blooming… simply exquisite!
Got Cats? Here’s another secret: Not so much cat-proof. When pounced upon, the spikes will break. Ask me how I know this.

The very best job I could ever imagine is one that would pay me to think… and the currency would be wine!
THey are such beautiful plants. Great choice for this week’s theme! Happy weekend
Now that’s what i call narrow!
Beautiful flowers~! My in-laws have a lot of these back home:)
I’ve had some…..but they last a long time, then tend to ‘rot out’ near the potting mixture….dunno what I do wrong.
Your’s are gorgeous.
Drop by and view my photo hunt if you can find time! Love to have you leave me a comment. Happy weekend to you.
sadly i don’t have a green thumb. all the orchids my mom-in-law gave me all died. how tragic. but you are lucky. just look at those blooms!
tfs!
I love Orchids My husband gave me a wild mountain orchid when he proposed 25 years ago and my Dad used to give us them at Easter too, Yours is gorgeous
Wow!Beautiful! Really, they are easy to grow?First time I heard. I will try to grow one by May.Is it a good time to grow one?
Orchids are real beautiful.
Your orchids are so beautiful! We do have one orchid plant and it is growing well. But it has not bloomed again since we first got it!
Nice orchids you got there. Thanks for the visit.
Those are lovely flowers! Both of our humans have “black” thumbs and kill anything they try to grow (except cat grass) so we don’t have any plants inside.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I’m so glad I stopped here. This is a wonderful blog. Beautiful picture!
Those are beautiful, and a treat for the eyes on this cold snowy morning
Happy photo hunting!
narrow stems. you’ve grown them beautifully!
Morning Sniffles
Thanks for calling in to see my narrow kitten squeeze through a narrow door. (Reminds me of childbirth! Ouch! :lol:)
What beautiful flowers. Makes me want spring to come soon. I love flowers, just way too cold here right now to grow any.
Your orchid plants are healthy and the flowers are gorgeous! Singapore exports lots of orchids each year.
Wow…I’m impressed on how you manage to keep the orchid so beautiful. Thumbs up! I have many in my garden too and I have been using charcoal as the “soil” all the time and it works well for me.
If you have the time, do check out my another interpretation here
You sure have a pretty green thumb
your orchids are looking great. I love orchids, they’re also my country’s national flower.
Great photo and great horticulture. Do you have an orchid orchard?
I also love orchids! I have always at least one plant.
Thank you for visiting me. Happy weekend!
Ooooh, I ♥ orchids! We´ve got a white orchid in the kitchen.
Beautiful shot!
Thanks for stopping by and taking time to comment on my Photo Hunt entry earlier today!
Happy weekend!
You answered my cat question before I even asked it! With 7 little monsters, I have never had a chance of keeping anything green alive. But thank goodness I have photos such as yours to look at!
Beautiful…
sad to say I dont have green thumbs for orchids.
orchids are lovely as ever
Good use of the theme!
I love orchids - but unfortunately they don´t love me.
Beautiful flowers! I tried once to grow them , without any noticeable success. Anyway if they are sensitive to attention from cats, perhaps it’s just as well…
I love orchids too. Great shot and post for the narrow theme.
My mom use to have like that flower its pretty. Happy hunting. Have a nice weekend.
kudos to your green thumb.
nice take on the theme. ’til next week!
I love orchids you have inspired me to to buy one. Keep your fingers crossed that the cats will leave it alone and that I can keep it alive.
Lovely flowers! Like i said to the other entry of one blogger i never get tired of the beauty of nature, they’re too irresistable! Great shot! Happy weekend! Mine is up as well please visit when you get the chance, thank you!
NARROW FEED THE ROAD
I love flowers, I must be an old softy, we raised orchids for a long time until we became snow birds, hard to move them back and forth.
Those are so delicate. Are they scented? Very little chance for me - two cats and a hubby with hay-fever, so no flowers in the house.
They’re really pretty
They are beautiful, I love orchids vezry much too !
I love those orchids! Beautiful picture!
I got my first one last year, but it hasn’t yet come back.
I do see a new shoot starting out under a leaf. : )
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Your orchids are beautiful. You have taken some time and patience with them. But, something tells me that your cats use them as a playtoy. Personally, I don’t have a greenthumb. Whatever I try to grow, dies. Have a nice weekend. Happy Photo Hunting~
Wow those flowers are beautiful….Perfect for the photo hunt themed this weel….Thanks for sharing…..Mine is up too:
Every Beat Of My Heart
My Newphew’s Scrap Place
I have one just like that! Lovely shot.
They are beautiful!! My cats would definitely break them! My narrow entry is up at http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/prodoceo/472940/
Have a great weekend!
Those are gorgeous!
What a great take on “narrow”! And beautiful pictures of beautiful flowers. Maybe I’ll give them a try one day. I’ve always assumed they’d be difficult to grow!
Thanks for the visit!
gorgeous flowers!! my mum loves orchids too. she’s got a whole orchard full of it and i have heard that they are pretty hardy plants so since i’ve got ‘blue’ fingers [nothing can survive when i plants them!!], i might just give this a shot.
Those are lovely. If they were mine they’d be brown! LOL Happy hunting!
It seems like you like wine so come see my photo hunt entry. Happy weekend.
Beautiful photo; I had orchids in my wedding bouquet. Great site name; I will think for wine, too!
Hi, this is Momo cat’s SS here. I wonder if you have tried MOMO Pinot Noir from Marlborough, New Zealand. I know zilch about wine; my only interest in this wine is because it’s taken on my kitty’s name
I also have quite a few orchids in my back garden and I must agree with you that they are pretty hardy plants.
I love Orchids. Those are beautiful. I keep a water bottle around just to spray the cat when he gets near the plants, but I can see how that would be difficult with these.
They are beautiful. We have orchids too and it’s always rewarding to see them in bloom.
Those are so beautiful! Yeah, cats and orchids would be bad.
good thing you have a green thumb… had that been ours, it’d have beed dead by now
