Steffi and I went to the Chicago Botanic Garden on Wednesday to see the Orchid Show. This year's theme was back to the 60's. Different golden oldies played in each gallery--the first flower show that was a sing-along (and a tap-your-toes-along).
They filled a real VW beetle with orchids.
Catch the 60's decor -- the RCA console TV, the wood panelling and orange shag carpet.
The CBG staff starts planning two years in advance. All the sets are made in-house.
In the course of the six-week show they use 10,000 orchids, all grown at CBG.
It is impossible to take a bad photo of an orchid.
We enjoyed lunch at the CBG restaurant. I always get their grilled cheese sandwich made with three kinds of cheese on thick, well-buttered bread. Black bean soup this time, too.

In the studio: SAHRR 2026 is a flimsy!
I had a ziploc back with black/white HSTs on hand. They were just right for round 6, "quilter's choice."
It's under the needle now.
Linking up with Finished or Not Friday
