The Orchids of Longwood Gardens

From the very unusual, to the simplest of beauties, 
at any given time 200 - 300 of the 6,200 orchids are on display in Longwood Gardens.
The orchid handler hand picks and replaces the plants three times per week 
to ensure a continuous beautiful, colorful and healthy display. 

What a job...to be an "orchid handler"...yes please!

  3. Wow! We just went to Thailand, and I wish my photos of the orchids we saw there were half as good as the ones you've shared with us.

  6. Just beautiful, Debbie!
    I especially love the oncidium (the purple one, and quite difficult to get to bloom), and the lady slipper.
    xo.
