Tree Orchid

Tree Orchid

I just have to show you this. It is a tree orchid (don’t know the real name?) growing  in a Frangipani tree in our garden. Once a year it grows these long stems with masses of little white orchid flowers – it just happens… no help from anyone… and it is so miraculous to see. It only lasts for 2 weeks or so, and then the flowers are withered away again. This tree is also host to several other plants growing between its branches, and some pretty big spiders too, but none of them beat the orchid in loveliness.

We had up lights put underneath the two Frangipani trees. It looks like a resort when they are on at night.
