Orchids, Orchids, Orchids





Last weekend I drove up to Santa Barbara to visit a friend and go to the Santa
Barbara Orchid Show.  The theme of this years show was the '60's and they
called it Orchidellic.  The theme was cute but to be honest I was just there to see
some beautiful blooms.  And beautiful they were!!!  The varieties we mostly know
are Phalaenopsis, Cymbidium and Cattleys(the corsage orchid), but they had many,
many other varieties as well.  Anyway, I am going to let the beautiful blooms speak
for themselves...

























I promise you these are not pansy, they are definitely orchid....





































Maybe at a later date I will show you some of the "theme" displays which  were cute
but as I said, I was there just to see some beautiful blooms.

I hope you are all enjoying a beautiful first full week of spring!
