New York Botanical Gardens flowers
Hi all,
I went to the New York Botanical Gardens yesterday and they had a few Vanda type blooms. Just wanted to share, though I apologize for the quality of the pics. All I had was an almost dead phone (no flash).

I agree with Dolly that your photographic skills are amazing. The photos are all beautiful. They make me wish I could grow Vandas

Tindomul, are the NY Botanical Gardens a worthwhile tourist stop for out of town orchid aficionados?

If you are a plant aficionado, yes. If you are looking just for orchids, then no. They have several in bloom all the time, but it's not a ton. They do however host the orchid show for a month or so in April. Maybe starting late March. That's a good way to spend some time.
