That is a beautiful teacup, Snap! I do love pansies although I don't have any at the moment. Your tea sounds wonderful. I love Indian tea! I must confess that I am not big on orchids but I am simply loving your pansy orchids. How lovely and the colour is simply delightful! I have never seen pansy orchids before. Thanks for sharing and joining me for tea today. I always enjoy reading that poem too.
Love your new teacup! I didn't know the orchids were called Pansy Orchids, but I can see why. The tea sounds delicious! And love your watercolor app shots! Thanks for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea! Ruth
that really is a lovely orchid. I have not heard of this type before. I love your pansy teacups as well. Here, pansies grow only in the spring and autumn (mostly spring) as they are a cool weather plant. But, I have never seen the orchids before.
Pansies always make me smile...This is such a pretty teaset....Orchids take time and patience and the right setting.. which I think you have created beautifully...Love oreo's (YUM ) Enjoy your day !!! Hugs
That new tea cup is very delicate and beautiful. I, too, love pansies - I planted a whole bed of them this spring. I even have some that came back from last year. I've heard about the "new" Oreos!
Your pansy orchid is pretty Sharon and I like the gifted teacup with pansies. I didn't know Oreo made key lime cookies, I discovered key lime frozen yogurt in Florida earlier this year - it was sooo good. Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday.
Hi Snap! Your orchid is so beautiful and I love your gifted teacup. You have the sweetest friends who know you so well. Thank you for sharing the lovely poem at the end. Tea just sends us to a gentle time, doesn't it?
Such a pretty teacup. I'm glad for the info about Queen Anne, as the teacup I posted today is a Queen Anne, a new one to me as well. Your pansy orchids are very pretty, too.
That is a beautiful orchid. I have never heard of or seen that type. I wonder if it is rare? Have never seen key lime cookies either, they sound yummy!
Very pretty! I also have some Queen Anne cups in my collection. I love key lime so now I'm off to look for the Key Lime Oreos...(fingers crossed that they're also available north of the border!)
Oh, that cup is so beautiful! I love pansies. They are my second favorite flower after roses. The orchids are lovely, too. Isn't is nice that they stay in bloom so long?
Hello, your pansy teacup and saucer are beautiful! Lovely flowers too! Thank you for your previous visit and comment. The photos I took on the patio were early in the morning, before it got too hot! So not I can't enjoy my tea unless it is very early in the morning. :) Take care and have a wonderful week, Gina
Those orchids are lovely! I can see why you like them so much. The teacup is simply gorgeous too--and you can really see how the orchids look a bit like the pansies on the cup! Thanks for stopping by my blog :)
I love Miltonia orchids.
For me, they are charming and irresistible.
They bloom profusely.
Miltonias are often called Pansy Orchids because of their flat-faced,
open flowers that resemble pansies in shape and markings.
Richly colored, fragrant flowers.
From the time that the flower bud on the stems open,
they remain in bloom for 4 to 6 weeks.

I thought sharing the Miltonia orchid was the perfect time to share
another new to me teacup.
It was sent to me for my birthday from another of my sisters-by-choice.
This sister is my Saurian sister -- we both love dragons!
And, we both love pansies.
This is Spring Melody by Queen Anne.

Queen Anne is a fine quality china produced by Shore and Coggins,
Staffordshire potteries in England from 1911 to 1966.
This is beautiful fine bone china that is very translucent when held to the light.
The background is pure white, and the design is a bouquet of pansies
in colors of purple, pink, blue and yellow.
The teacups are footed and there is gold trim on all the edges and handle.

She also sent me Persian Nectar tea from Serendipi Tea.
Persian Nectar is organic Indian black tea with
organic peach flavoring.
YUM!
A little treat with my tea today.
Key Lime Pie cookies from Oreo.
Oh, my!

Wishing YOU well, much joy and a wonderful cup of tea!
When the world is all at odds
And the mind is all at sea,
Then cease the useless tedium
And brew a cup of tea.
There is magic in its fragrance,
There is solace in its taste;
And the laden moments vanish
Somehow into space.
And the world becomes a lovely thing!
There's beauty as you'll see;
All because you briefly stopped
To brew a cup of tea.
~William Gladstone
