Good morning fr #Pasadena. Lazy morning. Went back to bed after dogs’ breakfast at 4 & mostly slept till 9. Such a treat!! But it’s getting late & despite the sky being conveniently overcast Andy, our tortoise, will want his breakfast very soon so I must get cracking.
🌤️ eventually & 30°c (86°F) so considerably cooler if they’re right. Bravo for ☁️ 😁 Pic: #EpidendrumRadicans aka #GroundOrchid slowly coming back to life after some neglect. Yes, this gardener has plant skeletons 🩻 in his closet 😆

Just look at these gorgeous specimens. I first spotted (and featured) these on a commercial property in #Oakleigh around four months ago.

And they’re still flowering.They’re growing in pots on a verandah aligning a footpath. So they’re accessible and photogenic!

#EpidendrumRadicans is a species of #orchid.

Common names include ground-rooting epidendrum, fire-star orchid, rainbow orchid, and reed-stem epidendrum.

Delicate. But hearty - and their flowering longevity is quite something else.

🙏♥️🤍💖🧡
