For some reason, I’m unable to leave a link in the comment box on the blog, I have to do is in the Reader. I’m getting a bit fed up with WP, but not much I can do. Anyway, here’s what I said and the link.
On our last trip to Philadelphia, we finally made the trip to Longwood Gardens, a glorious place. In one of the indoor buildings, they had a small area devoted to fantastic orchids. I took as many pictures as possible (although not as many as I would have like to have taken). Here’s one to share for today.

A great colour and photo, nicely hidden 😁 I hope you mean the facility not just the bathroom “to see the whole place in action” 😲 😂

I think sumptuous is probably the best word to define that colour. https://alondonmiscellany.wordpress.com/2024/03/17/orchid/

It was great to see that they had carried their designs through to the bathrooms. I was on a pre-opening tour and need to get back down there to see the whole place in action.
