Well, yesterday I went to the Bronx and had a delightful time looking at mostly....orchids!!! http://www.nybg.org/tos11/the-...

The grounds on the way to the orchid house. Yep, it was raining!



Most shows are over the top, but with show tunes playing over the speakers, the extravagance was perfect. And it was hard to not sing and dance. Here's my buddy Donnie enjoying the music and orchids!


Here are some highlights.

More.

And more.



The vivarium. Spath plicata 'Sorbet Tropical Pineapple'. Phrag Inti's Tears.


Phaius Micro Burst. phaius Dan Rosenberg 'Tropical Ice.'


Dendrobium pulchellum. Cattlianthe Trick or Treat 'NN'. Paph. lowii.


Loved this one! Cym Via Reposo Tranquila 'Yellow Nativity'.

Other than orchids, I found the Boojum tree!


And more.







Hope you enjoyed the photos!

I only bought one epi. It was such a great color-more salmon than this shows. They lost the tag when they packed it.

I am swooning just looking at the photos Love the golden rain oncidiums, still need to get me one of those and the Militonopsis too. Just beautiful!

What a beautiful presentation! Any day, rain, snow or shine is a great day at NYBG. I've gone to their orchid shows before but haven't gone this year. Now it feels like I did. Thank you!

Thanks Steven!
Better pics of the epi color.

You are very welcome!!!

Wow! Orchid heaven! I really like that Epi!

Thanks for sharing the show!

Thanks for the tour Kathy. I'm drooling over the red Tolumnia.

Wow woofie!! That took my breath away!!
Ceratostema rauhii, needs some googling on my part, what an amazing plant!
Kathy, thanks so much for sharing, your pictures are gorgeous!

What a great tour Kathy... thanks for sharing, gorgeous pics as usual... I missed Longwood Gardens this year, and it looks like I'm not going to be able to make this one either, so thank you very much for postings...

Kathy, thanks for sharing your wonderful trip with us! I adore the Epi. I will bookmark this page to come back to when I am needing to recenter myself. I loovvvee the Boojum Tree, too. I hope to catch up with you soon and hear some details. It must have felt like Heaven.

You know, when you are there you just take it all in stride. Looking at the pictures today was intense. It also isn't a huge area and there's lots of visually restful spaces.

over the top, just about explains it! Wonderful

Wish I could embed the show tunes in the background while you look at the pics!!
