Blooming Orchid
Our oldest orchid (almost 20 years old now) has started its summer bloom: it is very fragrant (vanilla [Correction: Babette informs me it smells more like tobacco, chocolate and cinnamon.]), especially in the morning. We are expecting 7 more blooms. This is Babette's first and probably favorite orchid (Carl & Wanda sent it from Hawaii).

It is beautiful.
I see you put them outside in summer, too. I didn't know if I'm doing the right thing.
My lavender is dying, though - too much shade for it.
BTW, I so enjoyed your French trip photos. especially the one with walled garden.
Thank you.
Thank you. Lavender requires sun and not too much watering, at least in our experience.
Watering is not a problem. Gigantic 3-trunked silver maple my neighbours have, overlapping four backyards and covering my entire back garden with shade, is.
So now I'm limited to - mostly- hostas and hydrangeas (hortensias).
Only in the spring my garden celebrates sun with tulips and muscari hyacinths...
