Now what I know about plants could be written in crayon on the back of a postage stamp, but I am reliably informed that this first shot is of an orchid. Notice how the absence of soil/compost does not appear to have affected it's flowering capabilities – this one lives above fish pond number 1 out the back by the swimming pool. Gets enough moisture out of the atmosphere for it's needs – augmented by the odd downpour as it is half exposed to the elements in this position.
Here is a bad close up of it.
The next two are growing on the balcony outside the office, they might be orchids or maybe not – as if I would know.
This last one lives on top of the bar out the back by fish pond number 1, it is allegedly worth a lot of money or will be when it grows up – pretty sure that it is not an orchid but more than that is beyond me.

The flower with the pink edges is so beautiful!
That's cool that the one orchid grows by just absorbing the moisture from the air.
Nice pics. :)
rt, those roots just hanging in the air and producing such beautiful flowers - simply amazing.
