Como Conservatory Winter Carnival Orchid Show

 There is still time TODAY, Jan. 30, 2011, to to to the St. Paul Winter Carnival Orchid Show at the Como Conservatory!

Why???? Well, if these photos don't explain it better than I would, you just aren't in the mood to be impressed....
 This is a display set up by three of our friends that also belong to the African violet group. SG, PK and JV really display amazing plants!
 I really liked the orchid in the center...
 These are just photos of a few of the hundreds of amazing plants.
 The conservatory also displays part of their own "in house" collections. The scale is hard to tell here unless you look closely, but if the person in the far left is full size, look how incredibly huge the orchid in the left rear section of the photo is.
 This thing was wild.... It had arching stems of these "puff balls" of flowers reaching all over the display.
Sometimes, you just have to be impressed.
