Orchid Affair

The orchid show season has begun in Florida with many exquisite specimens on display.

 

Growers from Florida as well as from all over the world show elegant blooms and sell them giving you the opportunity to adorn your home or garden with rare and exquisite varieties.

Orchid societies and vendors also offer workshops, classes and everything essential needed to provide orchard lovers with the necessary products to keep them healthy and blooming year after year.

The lines, forms and colors sometimes create a ghostly effect with pointed pedals and spider web type flowers bursting out of vines.  Some small add exotic interest in a pot on a table.

Some are large and royal, others tall and layered with blooms adding full color to an otherwise green area.

The photos were taken at the Orchid Affair sponsored by the Fort Lauderdale Orchid Society.
