Orchids in the Park 2013
With orchids in every supermarket, visiting an orchid show might seem unnecessary. However, last weekend’s Orchids in the Park proved why orchid shows are definitely worthwhile. The displays were full of unusual and exotic blooms. You won’t find these orchid varieties in a supermarket.
These flowers both defy and excite the imagination. They’re great reminders of how diverse orchids are. After growing orchids for over 20 years, I’m still surprised by varieties I’ve never seen before.
Comparing these flowers to what’s available by the grocery aisle, it’s apparent that those supermarket orchids only represent a thin sliver of the orchid world. To enjoy treasures like these, visit an event like Orchids in the Park.

Great story and photos about the show. I wish I could have made it this year. Maybe next year? I’m hoping.

Orchids are not difficult to maintain. Their only problem is that they aren’t very attractive when they are not in flower. My wife keeps a few in her school and one is always in bloom. Beautiful blossoms, no scent. But it is impossible not to love the things.
