- This is so beautiful.... why are my eyes wet?
  
  Tears of joy?
It's crazy what these kinds of places can grow! We can't even keep an orchid alive for more than a few months.. beautiful.
- Totally, they had so many amazing orchids! And this is in a high dessert. As far as I know, orchids like moisture.
  
  Even more impressive! They're finicky plants, my mother in law was able to keep tons of them but that was in a tropical environment. Still amazes me though.
I just got 2 dendrobium tobaense var. giganteum's. I love orchids.
- Is that the kind of orchid in this picture? I took so many pictures, I can't remember them all.
The denver community would love this
- I'll be happy to post it!
Orchids are so cool
- Agreed. Easily the coolest flower, although maybe someone will prove me wrong.
It looks like a Turtonator
- Turtonator
  
  Had to look this up, and yes, it totally does.
What a weird looking giraffe.
