More Orchids From Kew Gardens

Kew Gardens is packed with botanical treasures, and it’s impossible to see them in a single visit, or a single blog post. Here are some more photos from our recent trip to the world’s preeminent botanical garden. The first picture shows the Palm House, which features orchids scattered among its tropical plants. The second picture has the Princess of Wales Conservatory, with two rooms devoted to orchids, and the third highlights one of those rooms, the Tropical Orchid Zone.

The remaining photos show a few of the fascinating orchids on display during our visit. The next six pictures are orchid species. Some are common, like the Chinese Ground Orchid, and others are much more unusual, like the Grammatophyllum. They are just a fraction of Kew’s orchid gems.

We couldn’t find name tags on the orchids in these last three photos, but they’re certainly worthy of inclusion. An antelope-type Dendrobium, and two colorful Vandas, round out this visit to Kew. Check back soon for more.
