Just across from the center, is the Botanic Garden; we noticed that the Orchid Show and sale were in progress this weekend! I don&#8217;t know how we overlooked it, since we have gone to every show for the last several years. <\/p>\n<p>By the time we made the discovery, we were already committed to a full Saturday. If we&#8217;re going to go this weekend it would have to be Sunday &#8211; and (gasp) forego our weekly session on the shooting range. So, we bit the bullet (sorry) and went to the garden and show this morning.<\/p>\n<p>We weren&#8217;t disappointed. The orchids were all beautiful, both those in the show and those for sale in the patio. I bought a nice phalaenopsis for less than half what you would pay in a retail store. I took this picture while transporting it to our home.
