-Look Up, Look Down Challenge, Week 30
Every Thursday, I publish a post containing photo(s) taken from above or below, and invite you to join in the challenge by posting your own photos with an up or down perspective.
**********************************************************************************************
I finally got to this year’s annual Orchid Festival – on its final day. But what a day; the sun shone and the crowds came out.
A team of 20 horticulturists took more than 4 weeks to install over 6,500 orchids and 3,000 other tropical plants. The result was an incredible display; flowers popped up from beneath rocks and logs
and cascaded down from above
This festival is an annual event, so if you missed it this year make a note to get there in Spring 2015 instead. I shall certainly be returning next year.

I see I have been here before! Odd, I thought I was following you, but realised that I haven’t had any notifications lately from your blog. Turns out that somehow I had ‘unflollowed’ 😕

Orchids are wonderful. A whole show of them would be breathtaking. As your commenter above me here says they do grow well outdoors in Florida and I have showed some of our neighbors before. But I’ve never been to a show of them.

The festival looks cool – and great shots (like the one of the people the most- I found my self looking again and again at it – because each person is in such different pose and it says so much – and you take a lot of great photos – and this one reminds me of a “person study” one….
but I also liked the other shots –
even though I am not sure how I feel about orchids – I can’t seem to grow them and they seem to “stuck up” for my house. ha ha – but my mom and friend Karin grow them and make it looks easy. and in Florida – each morning my mom’s spotted-maroon orchid was opening up just a bit more – and it was breathtaking.
