These photos highlight just a few of the orchids on display at San Francisco’s Conservatory of Flowers<\/a>. Their extraordinary collection spans the vast range of the orchid world. Big and small, hybrid<\/a> and species, common and rare — they’re all well represented.<\/p>\n

One of the benefits of air plants<\/a> like these is that they live in different levels of the glasshouses, and visitors are not simply looking down at the ground to see flowers. Some are at eye level; others are high over our heads.
