Midweek: orchid show 2024


 The annual orchid show at Chicago Botanic Garden is a wildly popular event.  This year the tickets are timed admission which helps a lot with crowd control.   Monday morning wasn't terribly busy (compared to weekends) and we were able to get a handicapped parking space right at the entrance.  




 Big Top-style music played in the exhibit hall (not in the greenhouses).  There were  clever arrangements.  





It is impossible to take a bad photo of an orchid.  




Fun house wavy mirrors.  


It was a delight for both of us!

And we were home for a late lunch.

  4. Our #2 and DIL took us to an orchid grower greenhouse once when we were in BC - talk about a magical place. I don't imagine it would come close to what you just enjoyed.
