If you’re in London, there’s still one more day to catch the Chelsea Flower Show<\/a>. It’s not an orchid show, but it is the most famous flower show in the world. Among the roses and royals, there are lots of orchids. In fact, the Royal Horticultural Society has proclaimed an “Orchid Bonanza” at this year’s show<\/a>. There are more orchid displays than ever, and a Lady Slipper species, Cypripedium flavum, won third place for Best Flower in Show<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If, like me, you’re very unlikely to make it to London in time, you can still enjoy this article about the show in The Baltimore Sun<\/em><\/a>. They have a nice photo gallery<\/a> that includes 4 pictures of Phals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This BBC<\/em> article<\/a> features an award-winning Miltonia<\/a> display. There’s a good photo gallery there, too<\/a>.<\/p>\n

AsiaOne News<\/em> has a story about Queen Elizabeth admiring some Taiwanese orchids during her visit to the show.<\/a><\/p>\n

Also check out this article from the Telegraph<\/em>, “Guns and chainsaws highlight plight of the rainforests” about an award-winning display that pleads for conservation<\/a>. It’s an essential message, even among all those dazzling flowers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
