Winnipeg Orchid Show







Today was the beginning of a weekend orchid show. My brother is the show chairman. The displays were beautiful... orchids grown by ordinary folks, as a hobby. My 88 year old Mom displayed a number of her plants (she has about as many as her age!).


The yellow slipper is the type of orchid which grows wild in Manitoba. There were also plants for sale, so I picked out a nice yellow-green Phalaenopsis.

Sometimes life events get in the way!
