Dave and I snapped some nice shots at last weekend’s “Orchids in the Park.” This annual exhibition and sale, courtesy of the San Francisco Orchid Society<\/a>, is held at the County Fair Building in Golden Gate Park<\/a>. The impressive blooms included a large yellow Paph<\/a>, a harlequin Phal<\/a>, and an unusual Dendrobium<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Orchids in the Park is a pint-sized version of San Francisco’s much larger winter show<\/a>. There may be fewer orchids, but the quality of the blooms remains very high. For example, look at this extraordinary Butterfly Orchid (an Oncidium<\/a> relative,) elegant white Brassavola flowers, and eye-popping Epidendrum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Psychopsis<\/a>\"Brassavola<\/a>\"Epidendrum<\/a><\/p>\n

Even a small event showcases the incredible diversity of the orchid family. With plenty that’s colorful and curious, there are orchids for every taste. Many hybrids<\/a> and species are as easy as a day in the park.<\/p>\n
