Once a year, Missouri Botanical Garden hosts a beautiful orchid show. Hundreds from their collection are on display offering vibrant bursts of color. It's a perfect treat...especially on a dreary winter day!
Warriors, decorated with dried natural elements, are nestled throughout the landscape.
Paths meander through the display allowing visitors to come face-to-face with numerous colors, sizes and species of delicate orchids.
As if not to be out done by the "professional" orchids of MO Botanical, one of mine opened yesterday morning!
If you would like to take advantage of this show, plan to visit MO Botanical Garden this month or next. The orchid show opened Saturday and runs through March 22. The cost is $5 in addition to the cost of a general garden admission.
