Beautiful orchids

 I found a real treat this morning at the downtown Farmer's Market.  We try to go every Saturday morning for the beautiful lettuce that is available. 

This morning, a new booth had opened and it was filled with orchids...lots of orchids.  Plants to buy and they lovely stems of orchids.  Eight long stems of perfect orchids for........$3.

I will enjoy these for a long time.

  2. I would so love to visit a farmers' market this morning. The site for ours is covered in snow. It will be a real treat when it does open. I'm certain there will be no orchids. Yours are lovely.

    Best,
    Bonnie

  4. A definite benefit living in the south as we can enjoy the Farmer's market all year round.

    $3 for orchids is a great deal!

  11. Those orchids are beautiful. I love the color. Our farmers market only runs from April through October and it's very small. Some of the bigger cities here in Oregon have terrific ones. Sounds like yours is a terrific one.

  15. You hit the jackpot, Susan. Eight stems is a bargain!!!! They are so pretty in your vase and usually last a long time.

    I'm really starting to miss my farmers' market. I'm wishing I had a beautiful arugula and frizee salad. But it's going to be awhile.

  17. It'll be a long while before I step foot in a farmers' market so I am very envious! Those are some gorgeous orchids you found.

  18. Those are gorgeous! Orchids last a long time...I have plants all over the house. I put stems on the dining room table when I entertain. But....I pay way more than that! You are so fortunate.
