| Sometimes the names have to take a back seat to the splendor and beauty. Thanks for the photos. Jim "Advertising may be described as the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it." -- Steven Leacock |

This is a good sized room with a wandering path with stonewalls around the outside so many of the plants are growing about waist high beautifully displayed and easy to see and smell. In the center is a stream that runs thru the center of the room. Some of the orchids are growing in trees. There are also many bromeliad I will post some of those pictures here as well.  Dwarf Blue Tango Bromeliad Aechmea 'Del Mar'   This glass display case was a beautiful display of small ferns and mosses. There were many arrangements with Orchids as part of the display. Here is one featuring orchids and poinsettia.  Beautiful Bromeliad Tree   There are more pics from our trip at these 2 links if you are interested in visiting them and I will be posting more pics in a few other locations later. There are several more pic of the Orchids used in mixed plantings if you follow the link to the Container Forum.
