Orchid Show at the Botanical Garden

 Evan, Alec and I went to an orchid show at the botanical gardens last weekend. It was called pixels and petals and blended both orchids with video game elements. It was quite cleverly done; though admittedly we were mostly concentrating on the various flowers!

I loved these color changing cubes!




Evan took my Nikon and got some great shots!

    1. I had no idea there were so many varieties; while I always enjoy orchids I've never paid that close attention to them before.

    1. It was a lot of fun; I had seen that someone else went to an orchid show in their city so I did a google search for one locally and found this one.

    1. Ours usually did really well... once I found a spot where they really liked the light. But then when it was time to re-pot them I just had no idea what to do. I wish I had thought to take them to our local nursery and ask.

    1. We really did get so many great photos; it was fun watching everyone snapping away! I don't think there was a single person we saw who wasn't taking photos of something.
