Additional Orchid Show Photos
I promised you all that I would post some more images from the Orchid Show at the Chicago Botanic Gardens a couple of weeks back, so here you are.

I believe people refer to this lower “lip” the white part as a sort of dancing lady dress!
This Nun’s Orchid may seem simple to some but in real life this was really a pretty special little largely terrestrial plant.
A lot of us are familiar with the Moth Orchids, or Phalaenopsis, but how aware are you that the star-like shape is also pretty prevalent. For example in Zygopetalums & Oncidium Alliance.
I love how FLORIFEROUS Oncidiums can be! I can’t wait to have my own. :-)
Look at this FLORIFEROUS beauty!!!
This Orchid and the previous one were in the lobby areas outside the various greenhouse rooms. They were in baskets of sorts that were mounted in the various columns.
Here’s another part, a bigger view of the previous Orchid. It was a huge, beautiful plant. Whoever wound up with this is happy and proud!
what a lovely little guy!

Another one of their really cool “Orchid tree” displays that were in the greenhouse rooms.
I think Orchids are as diverse as mammals. In fact from my reading I’ve learned that they are the largest group of flowering plants in the world! I’ve probably said that huh, well it’s AWESOME!
Here’s a different example of those baskets I said were hung up on the columns. This was one of my favorites of those.
