Just a Few Orchids

Recently, I had the good fortune to attend the annual open house at the US Botanic Gardens in Washington, DC.  Honestly, I spent nearly the entire time in the orchid greenhouses.  I'll be posting a few of the photos today, and add a few more as time allows.  I honestly don't think any dialogue is necessary when presenting such awesome beauty.  Just enjoy.
