Orchids at Lewis Ginter

The scent of orchids filled the air in the conservatory at Lewis Ginter botanical gardens in Virginia.  

 

 

 the bird of paradise to greet and such a pretty flower to brighten a rainy day

 

 

 

this was a surprise arrangement . Every year there is a new way to display these gorgeous plants

 corsage orchid

 

 

First time I have seen them displayed in fancy dress shoes

 

 

 

 

 

I must say I love shoes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 For some reason , this plant reminds me of my gladiolas I have blooming every year close to the same color

 

moth orchid - so called because of it's resemblance to  moths in flight
