Flowers and lace

I cant remember if I have posted this lovely orchid, probably but I put it in as we went to a native orchid show in Adelaide today and saw many like this and some of stunning two tone colours. I did buy another one that I didnt have.
The little bag is made from a pattern in an English Stitch magazine and I thought it would be fun to try so here is my offering, took me a while but I was quite pleased with the way it turned out in the end.
I am reading a new and fascinating book called "In a Unicorn's Garden". I have written a bit about this in my other blog here.
The peacocks are calling, the males all have their long tails and the females are being a bit silly about where they nest, I am sure one is up behind the house somewhere and I am afraid a fox will get her. The males love chasing each other on the roof and they sound as if they have hob nailed boots on at times.
