These beauties live in a glass pavilion at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden.





Orchids were everywhere, in pots, on trees, on the walls, hanging around.


I wanted to post their names, but their identification is beyond my realm.



I have always been fascinated by orchids.

Their shapes, their colors, their pollinators.



One of my favorite books is The Orchid Thief by Susan Orlean.
I understand why folks have obsessions about them.


These flowers seem other-worldly, angelic, heavenly…

Would love that! Fairly home-bound these days caring for my husband but if I do get the chance I’ll let you know. Thank you.
