So I'm getting ready to purchase my second orchid and I took some time to hunt down a photo I took in 2014 that seeded (pun intended) the thought of orchids in my mind.
I was actually hiking up Tinker Cliffs in VA in order to propose to my wife at the top, when I came across this beauty at the top:
It was June, the view was great, I thought we were going to die when we crossed paths with a bear, I proposed to my wife, and then I saw this. A great day was had!
