Orchid - Orquidea

Orchid

Besides painting, I like to have flowers at home. Orchid is my new interest; I have some, different colors and shapes.
Last week I had a surprise: The Queen of Night bloomed. 4 flowers this year. It is a flower from Amazonas, it bloomed about midnight and died in the morning.

One of the best therapy for me is gardening. I love to see my garden full of flowers and fruit trees. It lift up my soul.

Bougainvillea in my front yard at studio

Bougainvillea   is a genus of flowering plants native to South America from Brazil west to Peru and south to southernArgentina (Chubut Province). Different authors accept between four and 18 species in the genus. The plant was classified by Europeans inBrazil in 1768, by Philibert Commerçon, a French botanist accompanying French Navy admiral and explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainvilleduring his voyage of circumnavigation.

After a long time without rain, we have had some lately, and the trees show their beauty. I love my mini flamboyant .

Carnaval - Joy

Sometimes it´s very hard to smile all the time in life, so I make a smiling collage, or planting some flowers, or go outside take care of my garden. The most important is being positive and always looking at the bright side of the moon, the earth or even imagine so many stars behind the clouds. This is the way I live my life.
