Erica,
Thanks so much for recommending our recent blog post about Vento di Rose. This was the b&b that probably most inspired us to launch Darn Good Digs! We fell in love with the place, and with the innkeepers, Emanuela and Emidio – they were just so generous and welcoming.

Hi Michael,
You’re welcome. Venti di Rose looks adorable. I like to hear that it inspired you! It’s interesting to hear what inspired someone to launch a new idea. Hope all’s going well with Darn Good Digs!
Thanks for the credit

Mei Teng, Of course
Beautifully captured!
There is just something about orchids. Beautiful.
.-= Mike´s last blog ..The Empire Builder =-.
You’re right about that, Mike. Reminds me of the movie Adaptation http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0268126/ in which Charlie Kaufman is attempting to adapt writer Susan Orlean’s “The Orchid Thief”. An outstanding screenplay.
Nice picks, Erica
Thanks, Will.
ASTONISHING. WONDERFUL. EXCELLENT. VERY GOOD.
Thank you.
nice shot i like especially the focus and shades in the background
I especially like how beautifully the pink color contrasts against the green background.
That’s a beautiful orchid. Their blooms are certainly worth the wait. Great job with that photo.

I completely agree. Some things are truly worth waiting for!
Oh yes, a very nice collection of posts indeed!!! Quite different from each other.
Indeed they are. Now I realized it may be good to do the opposite and pick a certain theme for all the blog posts. For example… food, travel with kids, travel tips, backpacking, reviews etc. I’ll consider that for next time!
Really Erica, thank you for sharing a good source of post here.
Keep posting.
Cheers
No problem! I’m currently taking a break from these features but they will return in due time.
Those are all wonderful suggestions. I hope you do another post like this!
Thanks.
