Orchidview May 3, 2012
 

Here are some pics from my trip to Orchidview yesterday. I had a great time as always. I don't know which was better, the orchids or the biscuits. From the looks of things (my belly), it was the biscuits because I had more of them than orchids. HP, Katherine, and Carol were wonderful. I have a good time every time I go. At least it wasn't so hot this time.

I'm not the best photographer. A few are a bit over exposed, but its quick point and shoot and then editing on my crappy notebook computer. Sorry I don't know many names. The only species plants in bloom were the mahogany manniis. Hopefully I can go back when the violaceas are in bloom.

Enjoy!

Looks like orchid heaven...

Wow wonderful trip Ben. Let me know when you might be going for the violaceas. I'll swap you for a weekend at my place for the Longwood orchid show.

Cheers.
Jim

It's really too bad HP hasn't figured out how to grow plants.
