With so much of the country struggling with flooding, snow and frigid temps, I thought I'd just offer a simple little glimpse of beauty.  This gorgeous orchid is just one of many I had the pleasure of viewing this past weekend at the Santa Cruz Orchid Society show.

I was dazzled and inspired. To me, she looks like an exotic beast ready to come alive and fly around the room, swooping and diving.  Hide your children!

 I hope you've enjoyed this solitary beauty as much as I have.

Wickedly Yours,
