Orchids and Art. in México.

[luis mendoza]

Hello everyone

I invite you to see the first nine images in my gallery. The skilled hands of my group of workers at Casa "Los Angeles" have acquired a surgical precision to carve wood. A collection of unique pieces, some of which have been moved to other parts of the world, where surely adorn any wall or table. The last three pictures are of two beautiful species of Mexico blooming now.

Hi Rick !!!

Yes, the fruits will be ready in few months, everything seems fine.

Small vessels have a tiny hole in the bottom, when filled with water or fertilizer solution they fall drop by drop and allow an effective absorption because the substrate is inorganic.
