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.
