The orchids were displayed in three greenhouses (two "tropical" (humid) and one arid) and in the connecting corridors. They were glorious! I can understand why people become obsessive orchid-growers. (Is anyone else a Nero Wolfe fan?)

Orchids!
The Chicago Botanic Garden is hosting The Orchid Show through March 16. Stevens and I went this afternoon, figuring that it would be less busy on Friday than this weekend. I checked out a museum pass from the library to get a discount on parking (half off, it said) -- but the guard just waved us in, so we saved the full amount!

Hello, Nann. I love your photos of all the gorgeous orchids, they really made my day. My youngest son, who is now in college, spent years cultivating orchids we bought at a nursery in Bucks County PA. These photos brought back some good memories for me!
