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&#8217;m still sorting through our photos, and I&#8217;ll be featuring more of these beauties. Check back soon for additional pictures from this great weekend in Golden Gate Park.<\/p>\n<p><a
