A trip to the Orchid Nursery



This post was supposed to go up quite a while ago, think months!
 But naughty me got a little slack and completely forgot that I had these gorgeous photos just sitting around waiting to have words put to them!! While I was on holidays in September {See, agess ago!! It feels like years} I popped in to visit my grandparents for a few days, you know just to be the perfect granddaughter, get fed ridiculously amazing food and wake up to a clean car!! I swear that wasn't the only reason I went. My Oma has always loved flowers and every room in their home is adorned with countless stems of every kind of flower under the sun, don't even get me started on her garden, its a-ma-zing!! I've always had a thing for flowers, I even wanted to become a florist at one point and my grandparents have never forgotten that so when they mentioned that there was an Orchid Nursery not far from their house I jumped at the chance to see some of my favourite flowers!







The variety and abundance of these gorgeous blooms was crazy, every single colour and size that you could think of was there. It almost felt like I was in a museum for flowers instead of an actual nursery. 





Out of all the different variety's that were there this one was by far my pick. I don't know what it was about the rich plum colour that caught my eye but when I get my own garden this will have prime position!











 As at all nursery's there must be some kind of statue for me to lust over!







Also, how zen are these lanterns! I can just imagine a hot summers night out in the garden with flowers in the background {Obviously!!} and these candle laden twinkling in the moonlight! Oh to dream right ;)
