Dear Sharon, I adore them too! This year was exceptional for them at Chelsea, and I have still have pictures of carpets of the Kentucky Ladys Slipper Orchid!
To see and get a picture of the Californian one was a treat for me, although most people did not take any notice of it as they did not know what it was!
I wish you were there with me, I think you really would have had a really great time this year!
The Ladies hats were wonderful as well, and some of hem had orchids on them!
Regards.
Neil.
