This orchid paradise is a must see!
Hmmm... Not sure if this is the place for these pics. A few weeks back I went to go visit some tropical greenhouses in the Netherlands, not too far from my university.
It's called the OrchidëeenHoeve(orchid farm) It is asolutely stunning. They have a couple thousand square meters of greenhouses set up to look like a jungle. There are over 3000 different orchids on display, both species and hybrids. I stayed there nearly 5 hours! 
I hope the link to the pictures works.

So if you're ever in the Netherlands, this is a must see!

Great pics Camille! I've often wondered, though, being so far north, how much do you have to rely on artifical light to get your plants through the winter?
