Tiny egg capsules packed neatly as bricks high up against the brick wall at the entrance of the school.
Only one little critter did not hatch. I wonder how many of the 27 others made it to maturity.

A newly opened Amaryllis bloom welcomed me home today! It is as big as my open hand.
Rain has been forecast for the rest of the week - may it reach our neck of the woods.

Epidendrum Orchid
Also known as the Crucifix Orchid, probably because of the prominent cross in the centre.
It is very easy to grow and I suppose that is why it is mostly referred to as the Poor Man's Orchid.
Poor Me had it in red, pink and yellow, but it seems that the drought has really taken its toll.
