Oooh, yes, happy birthday to you indeed! (But gee, WE get the prezzies of lovely photos! Thanks!)

Thank you for the birthday wishes.

You're welcome! I'm happy to share my "prezzies" with you.

Happy Birthday!!!! I'm glad you like the rainbow maker. I thought about you a lot today!

Oh, I love it! It took me a long time before I finally placed it in this window. I want one for every sunny window in my house! Too many rainbows are being missed.

Happy birthday to you! That last photo shows how you feel :)

More lovely orchids - what a gift - you can never have too many of those.

hat one on the left could very well be the same as the one I got - my very first orchid.

Eggshell certainly knew what to get you with that prism, too. What a wonderful sister she is :)

I look forward to chalk fair photos - but no pressure on your birthday :-)

Thank you! That's a good observation about how I feel. I had a very good day!

I feel the same way . . . can't have too many orchids. If the ones I saved and repotted from last years freeze survive and get started blooming sometime next year, I'll be knee deep in orchids before I know it. Ha!

That one of the left is a Cattleya. Do you still have your first orchid?

My favorites are the Phalaenopsis. (that's the one on the right, and the little miniature) I seem to have the best luck with those and they have the longest lasting flowers.

I have the best sister ever!

Yes, I still have my orchid + one more, now. My first one is a dendrobium, though,so can't be the same as the one on the left. You identified it for me, remember? I'm so glad you had a very happy day :)

I'm sorry I missed your birthday yesterday! I hope it was a great one.
Your home looks like a spa - a lovely, restful, beautiful place to get away. You are truly a great artist and I love being your friend!

You didn't miss my birthday, it's been going on all week and will conclude tomorrow. It's been great and not as painful as I thought it would be to turn 65. Ha!

Thank you for the really nice compliment about my home. I've loved creating and filling it with stuff I like over the years. I'm honored to be your friend, Laura.

Happy Birthday! I remembered because Kabuldur reminded me. I love your rainbow round prism. SO cute! I wish I had more windows that let in the light. Our house faces south and we only have one window on the East side. :P

earthmother45 November 6 2010, 02:07:14 UTC

Thank you.

Our house faces west. I only have my bathroom window (facing east) and the front living room windows (facing west) where I could hang them. The windows we have facing south we keep the blinds closed most of the time because of the heat. The rainbow prisms are pretty neat.

I photographed a white butterfly the other day -- first one like this. I think it's a Florida White, but I'll post a picture soon so you can let me know for sure.
