      Thanks Amy! I was going absolutely crazy in there and only had about 15 minutes which were all spent taking photos of the orchids.

        Amazing!

  6. I visited the same exhibit in May! Apparently all of the orchids are actually in pots strategically camouflaged in the exhibit, so that they can be swapped out for others and the blooms are always fresh!
