Bright colourful delicate orchid blooms Enchant many gardens and living rooms Alluring flowers in pretty hues, each one Uplifts its perfect petals towards the sun Tropical blossom for my visitors to see Intense colours with such brilliant beauty Foliage remains when the flowers die Until rejuvenation happens and I espy Lovely flower stems to captivate my eye Contest: Beautiful Acrostic Sponsor: John Hamilton 12~29~ 15

Hi Jan, Great composition. Clearly a 7. This should be an easy win. Good luck. Love the pics. Are they from your collection? Have a great day. Earl

Jan Allison
Date: 12/29/2015 1:13:00 PM

Thanks Earl:-) No they are just off the web - I have an extensive collection I really should take pictures of them I have 6 in flower at the moment and another 3 with flower spikes on - the flowers can last for up to 9 or 9 months so I always have colour:-) Maybe when I get a black orchid one I will stop but I've not managed to locate one on the island yet:-) hugs Jan xx

I adore orchids as house plants and carnations are my favourite cut flowers so I treated myself to some today - they are perfect for when the decorations come down and the sparkle and colour goes:-) hugs Jan xx

I also love orchids...have several but don't have much luck getting them to rebloom. I enjoyed how your poem also rhymed...not easy to do! BG

Move them to somewhere away from their normal place so there is a rapid temperature drop especially at night time - I have managed to get all my plants 21 plants to re flower most keep their flowers for around 8 or 9 months so I always have colour in my living room - some of my plants are about 7 or 8 years old if not older:-) hugs Jan xx

Pretty~pretty, Jan. I used to grow orchids.

Jan Allison
Date: 12/29/2015 9:16:00 AM

I have a bit of an obsession with them Lin I can't resist buying one in a colour I don't have - I bought a stunning vivid blue one then found it was dyed so it went back to the shop - i can't see the point when the natural colours are so so beautiful:-) hugs Jan xx

Thanks Alexis I adore my orchid plants. I have 21 in my lounge with 6 of them in bloom at the moment and another 3 with flower spikes forming - I get such pleasure from the challenge of getting them to re flower year on year:-) Hugs Jan xx
