Toadstools

I saw these cute toadstools whilst out walking the dog on Thursday.

Orchids

This orchid was given to me two years ago by my parents-in-law.

There were 14 flowers the first year, last year 7 on one spike (I broke the other spike when we moved) and this year it looks like it will have 27 flowers in total.

I'm really pleased with it, orchids seem to be easy to look after, I water this once a week in summer and once every two weeks in winter, I use a few drops of orchid food now and then.

The flowers are each 9 cm (about 3 1/2 inches) across
