Orchid

My lovely neighbour, Grace, picked this beautiful orchid for me. The whole stem is only 10cm long - they are the mosty dainty little flowers you've ever seen, with such fine details. The little glass bottle also has a history. I went on a canoeing camp a few years ago (don't ask!), and while our local dam was at a very low level, we explored the banks. Much to my surprise we found a myriad of tiny bottles just lying on the ground getting trampled by cattle! The banks of the dam were where the old town had been before they flooded the valley. I am assuming that this was a small bottle for ?maybe smelling salts or pills. I have been waiting for years to take photographs of something in these bottles. I think the orchid certainly does it justice!
