Orchid Date Day

We headed to Santa Barbara this morning for the 78th Annual SB International Orchid Show. 

It’s running all weekend but we figured Friday would be the least crowded, both at the show and on the freeway.

So many different sizes, kinds and colors!

I was fascinated by the different leaf shapes

and the plants with soooooo many spikes/flowers in full bloom. 

They were amazing. 

 Counting the spikes…

We took advantage of the vendor hall to pick up a few (ok, more than a few) mini’s and regular size phalaenopsis. 

 One of my favorite colors

Pics of those tomorrow…

Award-winning display
