Epidendrum Orchid Seeds

I saw some seeds floating out of an Epidendrum seed pod and decided to take some pictures with my digital microscope.

Paul Carlisle the Master Tuberous Begonia Grower!

Our Begonia Group had our September meeting in Paul Carlisle's tuberous greenhouse.  We were amazed as usual!  It's always an impressive sight to walk in and see all of the color.  It just makes you smile!  We were also impressed with the begonias grown by his wife Laurel Carlisle.  Laurel grows the non-tuberous and all of the cactus and succulents.  It was all very impressive and fun to see!
