Orchids From Elena

 I like orchids.  I now have three plants.  This one was given to me by Elena, one of the local employees at the embassy.  Isn't it beautiful?  I now have three BLOOMING orchid plants in my house.  It's rather amazing, since I've never owned orchids before and had never researched much on how to take care of them.  They thrive, though, on my window ledge.  Thank you, Elena for the lovely gift.
