Missouri Botanical Garden Orchid Show

[IraGlacialis]

Back in March, the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis had its annual orchid show (at least its 90th).
This also coincided with the garden celebrating its 150th year.

And yeah, I know I'm a bit late in posting them. Sorry about that. School can get a bit... hectic.

Anyways, enjoy.









I think I was the only guy there under 50.

To me it looks very much like an Odontioda.

Great pics!! I love the first photos of the set up. They really did a nice job, it looks like you were walking through a piece of jungle or a tropical garden!

If you are referring to the 20th flower down, it's a Wilsonara Lisa Devos.

I took low-res pictures of the labels of each orchid I took a picture off. So if anybody else needs to know the name of any flower, I will be willing to bring it up.
Just don't ask me to label each pic.
