Default RHS Orchid Show 2008, more pics
As I promised a while ago, here are some more pics from the RHS show in London. Some of the shots are a bit out of focus, I was still getting used to the camera. I also apologise in advance at the lack of tags, and to those of you with dial up as this may take a while to download. Enjoy.

Those are amazing displays.

A beautiful show! The cymbidiums alone are worth the price of admission!

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box. ...Hmmm? .

That is a European native the Sombre Bee Orchid Ophrys fuscus. A bit of a misnomer IMHO

I thought it was an Ophrys, but was not sure. The ones I have seen all look more like bees. I like the green and black color though!
