Four Ladies in Lace
Orchids are some of the most fascinating flowering plants on the planet. I love to look at them and even grow some of them. Growing orchids is extremely popular in the islands and there is incredible variety available here. One day while visiting the fabulous orchid garden at Foster Gardens in Honolulu, I came across a plant with these four beauties shimmering in the bright midday sun. I don't know the formal name, or even the nickname of this particular variety, but the intricate burgundy pattern reminded me of delicate lace shawls. It wasn't hard to envision them as four beautiful ladies adorned in fine lace, so I dubbed them "The Four Ladies In Lace."
