Even if it seems that Dave is on a whirlwind tour of the planet’s botanical gardens<\/a>, that’s not really the case. He’s just traveling a lot for work, and he’s taking advantage of chances to sightsee. Last week, after a conference in Canada, he was able to enjoy one of the most impressive gardens in the world, the Montreal Botanical Garden<\/a>. Spread out over 185 acres (75 hectares,) it boasts 22,000 plant varieties, over 20 thematic gardens, and 10 connected greenhouses. The Orchids and Aroids Greenhouse<\/a> holds most of the orchids.<\/p>\n

\"Chysis<\/a>\"Epicyclia<\/a>\"Cattleya<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Bulbophyllum<\/a>\"Dendrobium<\/a>\"Scuticaria<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m really amazed with the garden’s remarkable range of unusual orchid species and hybrids<\/a>. Many rare varieties were on display, providing a great demonstration of the orchid family’s diversity. It’s not everyday you see Gongora, Scuticaria, and Grammangis species in bloom.<\/p>\n

\"Brassavola<\/a>\"Gongora<\/a>\"Bulbophyllum<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Grammangis<\/a>\"Anguloa<\/a>\"Phragmipedium<\/a><\/p>\n

Besides the Orchids and Aroids<\/a> Greenhouse, Dave also found orchids in the Tropical Rainforest Greenhouse<\/a>, and vanilla vines<\/a> in the Tropical Food Plants Greenhouse<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Montreal Botanical Garden grows a lot more than orchids. There’s an alpine garden, shade garden, Chinese garden, Japanese garden, First Nations garden, lilac garden, and so much more<\/a>. Check back soon for additional photos from Montreal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
