Another from the Hilo Orchid Show. I thought this looked like a display of candles. If they were candles, they were scented candles as this orchid had a lovely scent.

Me too. It was on my list for years to go to the show, but once I finally did, I’m hooked and go back each year.

I don’t think of orchids as having scent, but several do and this one was very nice.

Weatherwise yes. It will take a while before things get back to normal though.
