Here are a few final impressions that I took away with me from the Orchid Show at the Chicago Botanic Garden this year. I made a total of three visits there, and each time saw something different that caught my eye as I wandered through the greenhouses.
These images will hopefully carry me through the final days of winter until we finally welcome spring flowers and warmer temperatures. I can’t wait for the new growing season to start, both at the Chicago Botanic Garden and in my own garden.
The show is on through March 26th so there is still time to see all these beautiful blooms if you happen to be in the area. Even if you’re not, it’s well worth the trip.

Orchids…nature’s way of astonishing the senses. Totally gorgeous pics!
Many thanks, Monika!
Lovely!
Thank you, Aletta!
Perfect Sue, we have gray skies and rain today. I need your post open all day for the brilliant color alone!
Thanks, Deb! We haven’t seen much of the sun here either, just lately. The few crocus in our garden are looking rather dejected so it was nice to see all these gorgeous flowers.
Stunning images.Thanks for sharing them with us.
Thank you, Anne!
I wish that I could make that trip.
I’m sure you would enjoy the Botanic Garden, Tom.
I certainly would.
