Tiki gave me the idea, and since I took some pics this past sunday, I thought I'd share.

I was invited as a guest and was blown away. Besides all the friendly folks, great food, I also brought home another addition for my collection... a Rhyncholaelia digbyana.

I had trouble using the bulk uploading feature on photobucket, and did them one by one, until more than half way through, I saw they had another way to bulk upload buld. SO, in my haste, some of the names may be mispelled, or wrong altogether.. lol

Enjoy!

The BINGO game before the property tour (the picnic was prior to that, sorry no pics)


And the tour...

What I didn't get pics of was their greenhouses, because we had rain chase us out. They are impeccable kept. Other growers should go there just to see how it should be done.

I highly recommend you going there if you are in town. Chances are you WILL come home with an orchid or two. The tour is free and open to the public. Times and dates I don't know.

The house and surrounding grounds, oh my gawd, I could just live there. Surreal is the best way to describe it. Not only orchids, but rare palms and other exotic trees and plants. Its a tropical paradise.

Welcome to R.F. Orchids

I forgot to mention the property also sports a larger collection of big bronze sculptures, and many rare parrots.

That place looks amazing! Thanks for all these nice tropical photos, it makes me forget for a few minutes how cold it is over here.
