There aren’t enough superlatives to describe the Pacific Orchid Expo, with countless stunning blooms and more floral fragrances than my nose can process. But I think an under-appreciated aspect of the show is the diversity of all of these flowers. It’s mind-bending to contemplate that these all belong to a single plant family.

This is far beyond the orchid variety to be found at an average supermarket or florist. They only sell a few limited types of orchids in different colors and sizes. (The last photo shows a Harlequin Moth Orchid as a prime example.) They’re certainly beautiful flowers in their own right, but they represent only a tiny fraction of the diverse orchid family. The Pacific Orchid Expo excels in offering so much more.
