It’s San Francisco’s smaller orchid show, but Orchids in the Park always manages to impress. This past weekend was no exception. Here are the first of Dave’s photos from this year’s event.

This show and sale always exhibits so much more than the usual supermarket orchids. Phal and Dendrobium hybrids are great, but they are only a tiny fraction of the orchid world. No other flower family has the incredible diversity of orchids — their astonishing color combinations, mind-bending shapes, and wide range of fragrances. These unusual, uncommon flowers were great highlights of this year’s event.
