The Orchid Show
Today, we went to the South Bay Orchid Society‘s show and sale at the South Coast Botanic Gardens. I took about 128 images of the beautiful orchids but I can’t show them all. It was very difficult to pick the 15 images for this slide show, so these were randomly picked.

Wildcourt Orchid
This pretty little orchid variety is called “Wildcourt.” The flowers are less than two inches wide and have the nicest pattern of colors. This sort of jumped into the cart at the garden shop today.
