Stephen Jay Gould wrote that orchids are “jury-rigged from a limited set of available components.” To my mind, it is from such limits that ingenuity learns to bloom. Wishing you a lovely evening and a fantastic Friday! 💛 #ColorADay #YellowThu #orchid #dailyflowers 🌱 #flowerreport #bloomscrolling

#RoseWednesday Don't even know its name, but I wait all year for this beauty to bloom. 🌹 In 2026, the color white is particularly on-trend following the Pantone Color Institute's announcement of "Cloud Dancer" (an ethereal, balanced white)as a key color for the year. #mygarden #bloomscrolling #rose

The new year doesn’t ask you to become someone else. What part of you is asking to be accepted as it is? #Presence
