U.S. Botanical Garden: Orchids

Here's some of what I saw on the 23rd, before and after the orchid class:

This looks to be a good place to end for now. There's still more and not just orchids, mind you! I'll try to get to those either this evening or tomorrow.

    I would show off, too, if I were as pretty as 'Showgirl' is! What luscious pictures, GG. :)

    Thanks! I just feel like orchids pose for pictures, that they like the attention! Silly me.

Gotta Comment? Great! Thanks in advance for taking the time. I'll get back to you as soon as possible, assuming I'm not in the garden...because there, I lose all track of time...(Don't you?)...Take care now.
