Yesterday, when it was gray, cold and windy I ventured north to the NY Botanical Garden for warmth and beauty, specifically to the Orchid Show. It is one of my favorite shows of the year, a riot of color, unusual varieties and fabulous presentation.
This year the show maintained the tradition of vivid colors and varieties. The overall theme was Florals in Fashion and it was weird, and not good weird. Mannequins, mostly swathed in plastic, were dotted with orchids, some surrounded by a frame of orchids. Ick.
The rest of the show was fabulous. I swooned over some of the more fantastical specimens.
