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!
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.

Love, love, love the photos of these orchids. Beautiful colors too, Jo!
Breathtaking!
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
you've said it - wild, exotic and gorgeous!
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.
