Visit to Kew Gardens

[RosieC]

Back in May my hubby and I visited Kew Gardens and as it was our first day out with a DSLR each there were inevitably a lot of photos taken

Unfortunately half of the orchid section was closed (and full of scofolding), but we still saw some great orchids there.

I really love their mount... it's a massive tree limb taking up most of the room it's in with orchids mounted all over. It doesn't show up well in the pictures but the room was also full of sprays of yellow oncidiums, they were pretty much everywhere.

Anyway, some of the orchid photos are below the rest can be found in a Kew Orchids Album on Flickr. For any who are interested in the rest of Kew gardens there is another Kew Gardems Album on Flickr. Be warned though that there are 241 pictures in that (and those are just the ones that made the cut).



I'm afraid I didn't record names, but the last one here is a peloric Phal equestris.
