Pacific Orchid Expo 2014

If you didn’t make it to last weekend’s Pacific Orchid Expo in San Francisco, you missed an incredible show. This year’s displays featured thousands of varieties of extraordinary flowers. With so many photographic treats in every direction, it was tough to know which way to turn.

Brilliant colors and rich fragrances beckoned from dozens of displays. Flowers as large as dinner plates always command attention, but sometimes it’s the tiny blooms which make people bend closer to exclaim their astonishment.
