I had no idea there was such a wide variety of orchids! Some were tiny, some were huge, some looked like delicate spiders, some looked like bearded irises. Some even looked like dancing ladies! They were simply stunning!
(Warning: This post is LONG on photos.)
I know this was a long post but what a feast for the eyes! These were all vanilla producing orchids and the exhibit included plackards that shared information about how the beans are collected and the vanilla is produced. There was also information about how these plants were propagated. It was all very enjoyable.
I hope this post made you smile! Have a wonderful week!

What an amazing birthday gift! Just seeing the photos is incredible so I can only imagine how wonderful it must have been to see them in person.
Wow - these photos of the orchids are so beautiful. I have to tell you I killed them for years. I would get a big one at the grocery and looking back, I think I watered it silly. I bought one at Sam's Club last year about this time. It said to put 3 ice cube's in the pot once a week. I have done that and now it is blooming for the SECOND time so I didn't kill it!
What a lovely day for you and your Mother in Law!!!
What fantastic variety in shape and colour! The only thing they lack though is perfume. It looks like you had a fantastic day out with your Mum.

Nature is the best artist around, we can only poorly imitate what God creates.
