Phalaenopsis orchid flowers
I’m joining Becky B’s square flowers in September series for the last few days of the month. And here’s the last one*. A spray of phalaenopsis orchid flowers, photographed in my living room. They’ve all dropped off now, but lasted for months.
*You may be viewing on the 29th, but in Sydney it’s the 30th.
Pom-pom dahlias and orchids.
“David Jones” is a department store with 39 branches around Australia. It was founded in 1838 by a Welsh immigrant named — wait for it — David Jones. The flagship store on Elizabeth Street, Sydney, was opened in 1927. For the past 30 years, David Jones has held a flower show at the beginning of spring, in which the windows and the ground floor are decorated with flowers. The event is as popular and as iconic as the Selfridges Christmas window display in London.
And to put all these flowers into perspective, don’t forget they are displayed inside a department store.
Perfume nestled among the flowers (these are actually paper flowers).
Phalaenopsis ‘Little Miss Elegant’
My dwarf orchid has presented me with the first flower of 2015. It’s a pretty little thing, isn’t it? Not fully open when I took the photo, but now it has three open flowers.

By great coincidence, Ed is looking for white things in Sunday Stills — and he has used orchid photos, too!
