Just to make a change from low key seasonal photos, here are some orchids in the RHS garden at Wisley on 3 December. The glass house was full of flowers, many of them pink for some reason. Here are two photos of pink flowers that aren't orchids.

This is one of the prettiest of the Cacti, and probably belongs in Barbie's greenhouse.

The tall plant is actually a cluster of plants supported on a pole. These Bromeliads don't feed through their roots. They are epiphytes; they just cling to branches in wet places, like the American "Spanish Moss," and absorb moisture and nutrients through their leaves.
These photos were taken with my iPhone.
