Orchids are my Favorite Flower

Lion Orchid

I grew up in Okinawa, Japan as a little girl.  My mom was a certified Ikebana instructor.  She often took us to the flower market to to purhcase supplies for the upcoming week of classes.  One time she took us to an orchid farm.  I remember being completely transfixed by the smells, the colors, the thick humidity.  I still have a mental image in my mind of that orchid farm.  My mom and I went to see the orchid exhibit here at the Natural History Museum recently so I thought I would share a few pictures.

Above is an orchid room.
