My orchid club took a field trip today to the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, Florida..I thought you might enjoy some of the photos I took today.
the president of our club..Jim Hawk on the right.
at the entrance of the tropical conservatory
too high up to read the tag ( and it might be upside down!)
Titan arum 'corpse flower' that opened last weekend and the one on the right is expected to bloom this weekend. Stinky stuff!
they cut away a portion of the base so both the male and female flowers are visible
the largest hoya flowers I've ever seen..about the size of a silver dollar!
me at a dry fountain..I love the use of Spanish Moss here!
