Friday Orchid Blogging

Today we have a stand-in. While I do have a new orchid in flower, it needs a few days to reach its potential. But I did just today take a few pictures of my Venus Fly Trap that is sitting outside enjoying the weather and the sun. It's become quite red, as you can see by the tips of the leaves. I actually didn't doctor the colors of the photo - the back wall is red, the pot is red, and the plants have a lot of red in them because they've been in the sun, so there was color everywhere. All I did was strengthen the contrast. Enjoy.

PS Yes, I spared you the leaf that caught the fly, it's cool but a bit gross. Kind of like having your cat catch a bird - good cat, bad cat, so confusing to be a parent.
