Orchids on the Chumpa Tree

Orchids have always been love of flower growers. While trekking in the jungles of Maharashtra in Rains I used to get mad at the sight of colourful display of orchids in the jungle. There they grow and bloom in their fullest. The jungles nearby Tryambakeshwar have many varities of orchids .I can't forget the sight of the Piple tree near Kushawart(the holy Kund in Tryambakeshwar) with thousands of orchids bloomed on it .Since then I have made it a practice to visit the place in every rains ,religiously. The orchids that we have at home have been collected from nurseries and acquaintances who too are fond of growing orchids. The one in the pictures is recently bloomed and I just cant take my eyes off it when I reach home after my work.
