New York Botanical Garden Orchid Show '07

As promised, here are the photos from the Orchid show that I went to this week. I have to say that it wasn't quite as nice as last year, not as large but still beautiful. I will say, there were many varieties this year that they didn't have last year so, that was really nice. This is the display on the water that you see when you first come in the door. Lots of Phaleanopsis Orchids in this display.

These two photos are of Miltonia - The Pansy Orchid. They are so pretty and probably among my favorites. I would like to try one of these sometime in my own collection.

One Thing they did with the display this year....lots of Orchids mounted on trees and in baskets, high up..among the foliage. These displays were really beautiful.

The Orchid Show At The New York Botanical Garden

Every year at this time the New York Botanical Garden has its Orchid show. The photos shown are from last years show. I wish I could show you more photos, the exhibit was absolutely breathtaking!! My husband Chris and I went last year for the first time and as he so rightly said...we couldn't take a bad picture. Every Orchid species was on display and in full bloom. The gift shop is also overflowing with lots of Orchids to buy as well.

We will be going to the show this year as well and I will post this years photos after we return. The Orchid show runs from Feb 24h - April 8th. You can visit http://www.nybg.org/ to learn more about this annual event. Enjoy!!
