If this blog sometimes sound like a broken record about the endless diversity of the orchid family, these photos illustrate why. Even veteran orchid growers find surprising shapes and brilliant new color combinations at Orchids in the Park. The dozen examples shown here are only a drop in the bucket of this variety. I’m still sorting through our photos, and I’ll be featuring more of these beauties. Check back soon for additional pictures from this great weekend in Golden Gate Park.
