Beautiful Orchid Blooms: Novato Photo Of The Week

NOVATO, CA – Patch reader Carol Lingo shared this photo of a beautiful, blooming orchid plant at her Novato home.

The plant was given to her by a friend after the friend's 100-year-old mother died.

"I have had it for over 10 years and I look forward to its blooming each spring," Lingo said. "I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do in sharing it."

We do! Thanks for sharing.
