From now to March 22, 2020 is the annual Orchid Show at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. I popped in for about an hour to see the many varieties of orchids set in a peaceful tropical setting. It was a wonderful break from the cold outside. Besides the gorgeous and sometimes humorous looking orchids, the floral aroma, alone, was heavenly and well worth the $5.00 admission. This year’s theme is “Mayan-inspired” and also features moss-covered mannequins wearing lavish botanical headdresses.
Here were my favorites shots ….
I love this little face!
Are these camo-orchids????
These conjured up images of delicate dancing faeries….
Bird of the day – the Bird of Paradise, of course.
I love the intricate ruffled lip and….
the dazzling colors. How rich we are that God gave us beautiful blooms.

The plants at the Missouri Botanical Gardens come close enough to an asylum if you just move a couple of letters and take time to……..
enjoy some of nature’s spring beauties……
Chihuly glass sculpture and roses….
A few of the iris that bloomed this past May..
These were my Mom’s favorite colors in an iris
and she never fails to pop into my mind when I see them….
If you look close, this is a double bloom….
I have no idea what these are but I loved the whimsical look of them …
Peonies also bloomed in May..
A pack of pansies…
Always love the sheep……
