Between thunderstorms today, I went out to check on the Showy orchids. I always miss seeing them until the flowers are up, and sometimes not until they’re already peaked. So today began my Showy Orchid Watch.
At first I didn’t see them where I remembered they should be, and assumed they hadn’t come up yet at all.
But then I saw the slick and fleshy green leaves almost in the path. The ‘path’ is really a deer trail, not something I made. I thought these should have been at the base of a tree. But then I remembered that the patch at the base of the tree is farther up the hill. These are usually almost in the path.
AND, I forgot to take a picture. BUT I did take some video 🙂

I’m a nature-lover, real estate agent & artist. Sometimes, I also write things. I began using local pigments to paint scenes from nature in the Ozarks in 2018.
All of my artwork is available in prints, and where originals are available, they are for sale. You can find all of that over at shop.WildOzark.com. I have a separate website for my real estate blogging and information at WildOzarkLand.com.
Don’t be confused by my various monikers. For pretty much everything online, I go by Madison Woods, a pen name I adopted when I first began writing and then later with my art. For real estate, I use my real name, Roxann Riedel. And for my fiction, there’s yet another pen name: Ima Erthwitch.
