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 🙂

The newsletter is monthly. My blog is sporadic, so if you want the posts to go to your inbox, put your email address below. Blog posts and newsletters aren’t always the same (very rarely are the same), so it won’t hurt to subscribe to both 🙂
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.
If you’re interested in buying or selling in rural northwest AR, get in touch with me by phone, text, or email. I’m happy to help! I have a separate website for my real estate blogging and information at WildOzarkLand.com.
Call me “Roxann” or “Madison”, either one works.
