Orchids: Part IV

So here is my final post about all the lovely orchids that were on display this year at the Phipps Conservatory Orchid and Bonsai exhibit 2012.  I wanted to share some of the less common orchids that made me stop and stare.

It is amazing that there can be so many different varieties of one single genre of flower; some looking so unique that you wouldn't even suspect that they are orchids.



Here are some pictures. Enjoy!

Since orchids need to be kept in a warm climate visiting the  the orchid room at Phipps can be a nice reprieve from the snowy Pittsburgh weather. So I encourage you to go out and visit your local conservatory bask in the warmth of flowery scented air and view some beautiful flowers.
