Hawaiian Tropics...

When you think tropical flora, what comes to mind? Ok, besides frangipani and hibiscus? Orchids, of course! Next to daylilies, orchids are my favorite flowers! That's why I HAD to attend last year's Philadelphia Flower Show! Remember the theme? HAWAII!
A 30-foot-high waterfall created a stunning entrance!
The surrounding pool featured Pele's Garden, complete with grass-roofed huts.
Everywhere you looked...
orchids...
orchids...
and more orchids
In all shapes
and sizes...
Talk about a tropical paradise!
The lit up pool and surrounding gardens took your breath away!
I won't post the hundreds of photos I captured, but, will share just this last beauty. After all, it's my favorite color!
Really itching now to visit the Flower Show this March! Anyone else planning the trip?
