There aren't too many things nicer than seeing beautiful, fragrant, exotic flowers. Except for seeing beautiful, fragrant, exotic flowers in a library. In the middle of winter. With a little snow on the ground.

So I took pictures, and pictures, and pictures, ostensibly for the librarian but actually for me.

While I was there I noticed she had a large book of prints in a vitrine, opened to an orchid page, but I forgot to check and see what it was, much less photograph it. I guess I'll just have to go back.

Meanwhile, here's a slideshow of 39 highly orchidaceous photos.

And the library is a PACSCL member so it's work related!

Oh my...beauty everywhere and in a library eve!
;)
Nice shots!
I do love orchid shows and it's been a few years since I've seen a good one. I think the last time was at Kew Gardens in London.

The Philadelphia Flower Show is rumored to be mounting an unusually extravagant orchid display this year. Photos will be posted...
