Orchids from Sloat Garden Center











The staff at Sloat Garden Center in San Francisco were kind enough to allow me to take photos in their nursery. The orchids were wild, exotic and gorgeous so I thought I'd share a few shots with you. Enjoy!

The last orchid laughed all the way while you were taking her photo.
The design and color is so delicate, rich, dense and exotic! ~bangchik

Such a nice variety, Jo. I'm glad you couldn't resist taking the photos. I'm going to do that at Costco next time I'm in there.

They are just beautiful.

Gosh Jo. Your photos are just amazing. We saw orchids like these in Madeira. There are a couple of orchid houses in Funchal and we visited one of them high on one of the hills overlooking the port.
How elegant they are!! =)
marvelous pix

Thank you, Chuck. I might actually go buy one today.

Bang, very well said, thanks.

Dave, that's what I saw and loved all of them, thank you.

Carmen, That's a great idea. I tried doing it at the Safeway florist but the security guard kept giving me the eye so I left :)

Jean, how wonderful that must have been. I grew up with orchids so not only do I love them but they bring me some wonderful memories.

Priyanka, thank you so much.

Ann, I'm always weary of taking shots in stores etc... but they were very gracious.
