Pacific Orchid Expo 2016

What does it look like when you put 150,000 orchids under one roof? Well, it looks like the Pacific Orchid Expo, and it’s pretty amazing. Dave and I are just starting to sort through our photos, and here are some of the highlights I’ve found so far.

By the time we’ve seen all the orchid exhibits, we are always overwhelmed. It’s just so many remarkable flowers, so many enticing scents, and so much color. My head may be spinning, but fortunately my camera still works. Enjoy these first photos, and check back soon for more. And if you’re in the area, today is the final day for this year’s show, so don’t miss it!
