Dave’s work travels gave him another opportunity to find orchids in Switzerland<\/a>. He really hit the jackpot a couple weeks ago at the Botanical Garden of the University of Zurich<\/a>. The garden houses 9000 plant species over 13 acres (5.3 hectares,) with orchids featured in three tropical greenhouses. In addition, there are Mediterranean, alpine, native meadow, and carnivorous plant<\/a> sections, and much more.<\/p>\n

It was a real treat for Dave to discover vanilla orchids<\/a> in bloom. We’ve seen countless vanilla vines in glasshouses and travels to the tropics, but the flowers are much harder to find.

With orchid blooms and much more, the Botanical Garden of the University of Zurich brings the tropics to Switzerland.<\/p>\n
