Here are some more shots captured at the Orchid Show at the Chicago Botanic Garden. It is still quite cold here in Chicago with no flowers in our garden other than a few snowdrops, so the orchids were a welcome sight.

The Nature of Things 
Awesome flowers!
Thank you so much for visiting!
You are welcome to my blog. 🙂
WOW! All are so beautiful.
It always amazes me how many varieties there are.
Truly amazing.
Hurrah for more flowers! I know some people don’t like orchids but I do. They look almost like aliens sometimes. 🙂 I’m excited because an orchid that my husband got me last year for Valentine’s Day is actually blooming again. Hip, hip, hurray!

I’m glad your orchid survived to bloom another year. They’re not easy to grow and I never had much luck with them which is why I always love to see these beautiful blooms at the Garden.
Great post Sue, for the first day of Spring!
Thanks, Deb! I just wish the weather was a little more springlike.
Amazing photos . Love all the different colours, shapes , sizes and patterns- your photos make you stop and stare and really take note of these wonderful and beautiful flowers.
Many thanks, Marianne! It’s hard not to do an orchid overload but I have so many pictures this year. I’ll need to try and spread them out between other posts.
Wonderful colour and variety! Very nice😊
Thank you, Belinda!
I was just there a couple of days ago and had such a good time. Your shots are wonderful. 😊

Yes, it was. 😊

Thank you, Tom!
I can see why you go every year, Sue. Such amazing plants.
They are truly a wonderful sight for winter weary eyes.
Wow… beautiful collection, Sue!

Incredibly beautiful, Sue! I have never seen these many varieties of orchids. Thank you for sharing.
I clicked your gravatar, it didn’t show you site, so I searched WP Reader and found. 🙂
Thank you, Amy. And thanks for the heads up on the gravatar omission which I have now rectified.
