Now In Bloom

Tuesday, 29th June 2009

George went to the farm yesterday, and picked up more Cymbidiums. Even though I've worked in this industry for more than 12 years, and seen thousands of different colours and shapes, I'm still amazed that there are colours I've never seen before. Check these out...
