A face-to=face standoff of the peacock doors at Chicago’s historic Palmer House. Which one do you prefer, black & white or color?

Wordless Wednesday
While strolling around Chicago’s Lincoln Park Conservatory this past weekend, we came across this never before seen by me orchid. It was tagged as genus – Bulbophyllum and species – Bulbophyllum gracillimum (Rolfe). A very knowledgeable volunteer informed me that it’s common and much easier name to remember is a wispy umbrella orchid. It is a bunch of miniature orchids forming an amazing larger and spidery looking blossom. Interesting looking, isn’t it? I’ll be on the lookout for more of these for sure.

Spent a wonderful weekend in Chicago. Clouds and wind overtook the day on Saturday but all that changed yesterday. The sunshine broke through and was impossible to miss. Even the flowers in the Lincoln Park Conservatory were enjoying the shining light.

Silent Sunday
Feel the warmth in the garden brimming from the tropical plumeria or frangipani. This one happened to be happily blooming in Maui.

Remembering watching the sun go down over the Pacific Ocean back in June of 2019. Even Covid did not affect the beauty of Honolulu in silhouette.

Helicopter seed pods, also known as whirligigs and samaras are actually maple tree seeds under a covering.
Full disclosure – Do not expect to see one of these pictured above growing in your garden at any time after planting. Just saying . . . . .

Paused from fluttering about, two tiny and spry unidentified insects. Does anyone know what these are? Fruit flies, maybe?

Do you see it? A tiny ant, walking along the fringe of a petal with one leg over the edge. It obviously has a lot better balance than I do. Gravity usually overtakes me whenever I am on the verge of tottering.

One of five Century of Progress Homes built for the 1933 World’s Fair, this Wieboldt-Rostone House now stands along the Lake Michigan lakeshore at the Indiana Dunes National Park. These three images are the front side of the home facing the street.
Below is a view from the back side of the same Rostone House, overlooking Lake Michigan. Next door, along the beach is another one of the historic homes, the Florida Tropical House. (You won’t miss it if you drive by. It is pink, . . . very pink.) Directly across the street are three other Century of Progress Homes – the Armco Ferro House and the House of Tomorrow (no pics on this post).
Four of the five homes have been restored and are now private residences, Even though the homes are closed to the public, there is a parking lot within a short walking distance. With informative signs about each home posted along the street and interesting views, it is definitely worth the time to stop and take a short stroll. Set aside enough time kick your shoes off for a walk on the public beach on either side of these homes. Unless it is winter, of course! Lake Michigan does freeze solid most winters and it would not be very comfortable or safe.
