Mom and I met 86 years young Mr. Willis at the county fair in August.

We all chatted for quite a while about orchids, since Mom won best of show with her little orchid.

He called a few days ago and said he had several orchids of one kind and wanted to know if we would like one. Of course, not turning down an orchid gift, we went over to see his orchids and recieve our gift. And, what a gift it is!

See how shiny the flower petals are, absolutely gorgeous!

Up close it is even better. The yellow in the center of the flower looks exactly like a tiny doll.
