Today seems like a good day to take a short walk back through time and to the Cleveland Botanical Garden. I still have quite a few orchid photos left from Orchid Mania that I need to sort through, and I started to do just that prior to going off on our Canadian adventures. I found this post tucked away, waiting for me to do something with it.

Strings and all
The WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge for this week is Arranged. All of the plants and flowers at the Cleveland Botanical Garden are arranged, and this is especially true of the orchids at the Orchid Mania exhibit. I generally avoid posting photos that show how the flowers are arranged, but I do take a few for myself showing the strings, the pots, and the backgrounds because sometimes I like to see the man behind the curtain, so to speak.
The kindness of flowers

The flower of kindness will grow. Maybe not now, but it will some day. And in kind that kindness will flow, for kindness grows in this way.

Ten thousand flowers in the spring, the moon
in autumn,
A cool breeze in summer, snow in winter —
If your mind is not clouded by unnecessary
things,
this is the best season of your life.~ Chinese poem

In the Costa Rica greenhouse garden. Cleveland Botanical Garden.
I have gone back to the Cleveland Botanical Garden, sorting through some more of the photos I took over a week ago during my last visit. It’s another beautiful day here in the Bogs and I could bring you photos from today, but I wanted to finish going through the Orchid Mania images before starting on something new.

What an incredibly beautiful day we are having here in the Bogs! Warm, sunny, simply gorgeous. It’s the kind of day that makes you throw open all of the windows to let the stale air of winter out, and the invigorating air of spring in.
