Beautiful Gift
On a lighter note, the above images are of a beautiful Phalaenopsis orchid given to me as a house warming gift by my friend Leslie Sutter. I love orchids, and have tried to grow them before, but I didn't have much luck with the lighting in my apartment. I have a lot of windows in my new house and the orchid has been thriving! Phalaenopsis is Greek for "resembling a moth" and the flowers on the orchid will last for several months. Mine has 5 flowers open right now and one unopened bud. If it continues to do well, I will be adding others to my home in future months. Click on the images for a larger view. Also, they have been added to the gallery as well.

I haven't seen Adaptation.

Oh, well it centers around the "Ghost Orchid" at least to begin with. That's a great movie. For once, Nicholas Cage actually impressed me.

I will have to check it out- isn't it based on a true story?

I don't know. If it is, I think the format-- the "Adaptation" into movie is part of the point. It's hard to explain, but basically, these 2 twins, both played by Nicholas Cage, want to direct movies. One twin is a Hollywood "explosions" etc. type of bad script writer and the other one has these big principles. In the end, the "true story" he is writing his script from ends up being quite far-fetched.
It's really interesting.
