Whether you are an orchid collector or admirer, The New York Botanical Garden Orchid Show is a treat for the eyes each year. I took over 160 photos and the ones I've chosen are just too great in number to show in one post so, I'll have to break them up into groups in upcoming posts. The theme of this years show is Brazilian Modern. The above pond is in the entrace to the conservatory and the display always features different Orchids seeming to float in planters on the waters surface. This year, the beautiful mosaic art piece shown is being used as a focal point in the display.
A beautiful striped Phalaenopsis.
A lovely lavender corsage Orchid.
These beautiful cascading baskets are actually chandeliers (with lights) made from different varieties of purple Orchids. There were 4 of these beautiful pieces in the main display room. I would imagine they look gorgeous at night when they are lit.

This is the main display room with a pond surrounded by Orchids, the 4 chandeliers and in the back, a piece of modern art.
Dendrobium "Karen" also known as the cane Orchid.
Dendrobium "Eima Pink".
Cascading Orchid baskets are everywhere.

p.s. I tagged you....sorry ;-)
Orchids are so exotic and captivating...I'm so grateful for the beautiful photos of your visit. Especially the close-ups as I have a keepsake gift on the back-burner using the dendrobian. I am puzzling out how to translate this intricate flower into paper filigree, and your photos will be excellent visual references for me.
Really enjoyed your series of posts on the creative process throughout the hydrangea wreath project. Hope you will do more of these progress shots in the future!
Love your photos! That striped orchid is wonderful. :) Kathryn
