The little orchids are always amazing. This Barbosella has a unique feature: it´s really big for a Barbosella! What an orchid! Take a lot at this beauty reading this post!

Well, sometimes I spend some money in something that I really appreciate. This is the case of this Coelogyne usitana. Here in Brazil it’s a very expensive orchid compared to the regular ones.
