salmon roll

Salmon grilled on a cedar plank over wood charcoal, flaked and served with avocado and cream cheese.

Omurice

Omurice typically consists of chicken fried rice wrapped in a thin sheet of fried egg. The ingredients flavoring the rice can vary. Often, the rice is fried with various meats and/or vegetables, and can be flavored with beef stock, ketchup, demi-glace, white sauce or simply salt and pepper. Today it was filled with taco meat and cilantro rice.

April Showers

Lepanthes Calodictyon

Lepanthes calodictyon could almost be described as a jewel orchid because its foliage is the main attraction.  Purple veining on a bright green background make this a plant that draws attention at every show.  Flowers are tiny, bright red dots against the leaf.  It likes cool moist conditions and relatively low lighting. I will try to keep it in the moss dish for now and see how it goes.

Bulbophyllum Picturatum

A small sized, warm to cool growing epiphyte found on deciduous trees or on the ground below them in bright light. The flowers have a slight sweet smell.

Elaphoglossum Peltatum

These small, creeping ferns grow on rocks, trees, etc. They tend to be shallow rooted, and need excellent drainage. They can be grown in high quality sphagnum. Mine is mounted on a cork and propped up in a small pot with sphagnum.

Daffodil Park

It was a lovely day, but not ideal timing to get pictures of daffodils.
