Lund Bothanical garden show 2013 - a set on Flickr

(I hope that some day it would be possible to transfere scent with pictures, because for the first time in my life i had the fortune to draw a deep breath near a flowering Stanhopea graveolens, and i nearly fainted in surprice of the foul smell from this beautyfull orchid :) )

Wow, what a great show, and beautiful photos!

I especially like the display with many different species all together. The plants and flowers are soooo impressive when you can see all the variety!! I would have been standing there for a while!

It is a small show with only four vendors, but we managed to spend over six hours there just the same.
This was the only show this year and hopefully there will be a few more next year, because it is a highlight to go there :)

WOW! Lots and lots of beautiful orchids and great pictures!

That bad? I recently decided I HAD to have a stanhopea and the graveolens was the only one I could get hold of... At least I'm now warned and do not need to look any further if the greenhouse starts stinking. ;)

Wow, beautiful photos. Thanks so much for sharing them!

thank you :)
I did stick my nose as close to the flowers as i could, and because they where so many i really got my share of the fumes:)
It is not advaisable to do that near this one.

:rofl:

I've kept my distance to bulbos up to now, mainly because of the stinkiness, but with a foul smelling graveolens I guess I can just dive into that weird and wonderful (?) world as well.

Beautiful pictures, thank you for sharing :)

Gorgeous flowers :drool: Thanks for sharing.

But you only had one picture of a Neofinetia falcata! Next time you see such a gorgeously blooming Neofinetia, you must take more photos of it. Forget the rest of those other orchids....LOL. Thank you for sharing these lovely plants. You are an excellent photographer!
