Orchids at the NW Flower & Garden Show
Thursday I was lucky enough to attend the NW Flower & Garden Show in Seattle (on through tomorrow, Sunday). A great show! I liked it better than previous ones and thought the orchid displays were particularly extravagant. Very worthwhile, and what a photo op for a flower photo junkie like me. It does help to have a camera that does well in low light, though (I use a little Canon S90), and I recommend a monopod to help brace you for those longer exposure shots. Much less intrusive than a tripod and easier to set up and carry, too. You don’t get the rock-still support, but it still helps.

I love orchids. This is really beautiful!
They are just beautiful. Happy Pink Saturday.
Another beautiful orchid, you have a great collection of them.
This is a very elegant beauty, looking a bit haughty into the world.
Good on her she has to be seen.
This is the time of year that flower shows are going on most places. I love going to them, but then wish I could grow flowers that way. This orchid is truly lovely.
These are so beautiful!! I love orchids!
Lovely orchids – I missed going to our local garden show – they always fascinate me with their creativity!
Happy Pink Saturday,
Kathy
These orchids are magnificent…your photographs are lovely. When I see these flowers I am reminded of my childhood in south Florida where my mother’s hobby was raising them. Thanks for a trip down memory lane.
