equinox with more pictures from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aboutorchids.com\/blog\/2025\/03\/06\/orchids-in-the-clouds-was-heavenly\/\">the recent Pacific Orchid Expo<\/a> in San Francisco. Begin with six terrific <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aboutorchids.com\/blog\/2017\/12\/06\/cymbidium-season-2\/\">Cymbidiums<\/a>, shown in the photos above. It&#8217;s no surprise that they were in abundance at the show. They&#8217;re relatively easy to grow on the California coast, and many are blooming at this time of year. The six photos below are a small sample of the other orchid varieties on display. They include a glorious <em>Monja Blanca<\/em>, or &#8220;white nun,&#8221; a Lycaste which is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aboutorchids.com\/blog\/2013\/07\/28\/orchids-as-national-emblems\/\">national flower<\/a> of Guatemala, and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lycaste_skinneri#Guatemala's_patriotic_symbol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revered by the Maya<\/a>.
