The New Orchid Garden
There is a tall wall made of local Saban rock with natural rock outcroppings carved out of the mountainside next to the swimming pool here at Shearwater Resort. The "landscaping" has been neglected for a long time and we are working hard to try to get the gardens back into show condition.
We transplanted a lot of the flowering plants and orchids from the other house and have made this space our "Orchid Garden"
Orchids, being primarily air root plants have found a perfect area now to flourish. The nooks and crannies in the rocks are just perfect with the right amount of light and water.
We actually have about a half dozen or so in bloom right now!!
One non orchid plant that we transferred is a beautiful flowering passion fruit vine which (hopefully) will cascade down the wall from the top.
The whole area being draped in several colors of Bouganvilla should make a nice backdrop for wedding photos for the upcoming wedding which is booked for the 2nd week of February.
Gosh, I hope the place is ready!! Ugh, still lots of work to do until then.
