ORCHIDS and much more




Isn't this just a beautiful orchid???  Today Terry and I went on a road trip to Sarasota to the beautiful Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.  I cannot believe all the gorgeous orchids I saw today.  Every size and colour imaginable...The gardens were donated to the City of Sarasota by Marie Selby.

"The Gardens currently is home to approximately 20,000 colorful and exotic plants in over 9 acres and seven greenhouses, many of these collected from the field on more than 150 worldwide scientific expeditions to tropical rain forests by Selby Gardens research staff."







What a wonderful way to spend a day, with a great friend in a beautiful setting...  I wonder what will happen tomorrow?
