Orchids in the Park 2017
Year after year, Orchids in the Park is full of delights. Whether it’s the latest in Moth Orchid hybrids, or brilliant yellow Lycastes which smell like cinnamon, there’s lots for every orchid lover. I’m just starting to go through all the photos from this past weekend’s event, but it’s easy to see that it was a sensational show.
Among all these stunning blooms, Dave and I noticed lots of Sobralias and Stanhopeas on display this year. That’s a rarity, because both varieties have short-lived blossoms (some Sobralia flowers last less than a day!) They’re not often seen at shows, but this time, there was a bumper crop of both. I saw one vendor diligently misting his prize Stanhopea blooms to keep them fresh for the weekend. Fortunately, the flowers live on with these photos, and with more orchids to come in future posts.
