White Egret Orchids 

(Hobenaria radiata)

- Orchids -

                                         Your divine beauty
                                         ignited my euphoria
                                         in a novel dimension 
                                       fusion of your presence 
                                       under cloudless climes 
                                          a paradox of rarity 
                                       possessed by the scent 

                                        I’ll be patient waiting
                                           for you to flourish
                                         White Egret Orchids
                                              with graceful 
                                          white fringed wings
