Emma, these are just so beautiful. How many did you bring home with you? I know you have one or two already, lovely flowers and good pics as well. :D :D :D :D ;) ;) ;) ;)
Emma. As Carol has said ...they are beautiful but oh boy I love the one in pic no 3.
Brilliant photos, had to go back a couple of times to have another look. Thanks.

I keep looking at orchids and feeling tempted; no doubt I'll get round to it eventually.
Unfortunately we didn't bring any back. I was sorely tempted to add to my collection - I now have 6 at home, but they weren't cheap and to be honest, I tend to pick mine up when they are selling them off cheap cheap!
If I keeo my eyes open I can find them for a fiver, but I assume they're forced, as it seems to be much the same few types all the time, and I'm not sure where best to keep them while not in flower.
