New Orleans Orchid Society Show
Thanks to my friend Blake for taking these great photos at last weekend’s New Orleans Orchid Society Show. The society’s 60th annual show was themed “The Mystery of Orchids.” It featured over 20 exhibits, more than a dozen vendors, a raffle, and lots of gorgeous blooms.
These samples from the show obviously enjoy the Big Easy’s humid subtropical climate. It’s the perfect home for warm growers like Vandas, Cattleyas, and other glamorous stars of the orchid world. Many varieties can live outdoors if they can be protected from hurricanes and from winter cold. Each is an exceptional beauty like New Orleans itself.

I think this is a real great article post. Really Great. The photos your friend snapped are very nice. New Orleans is one of my favorites cities. Lots of great gardens there, and it seems lots of great orchids, as well.
