the Park was another success. San Francisco&#8217;s summer orchid show featured great display tables, vendors, talks by experts, and more. This first set of photos just hints at the show&#8217;s riches. I&#8217;ve been growing and studying orchids for over two decades, and I can still reliably find fascinating colors, shapes, and fragrances at this show that are new to me.
