Orchidée


Across the road from the Fête du Citron is the Palais de l'Europe, which at the moment is hosting an exhibition of orchids. The exhibtion is free and is held each year at the same time as the Lemon Festival. There are hundreds and hundreds of different orchid displays - quite extraordinary and so beautiful. Here's just one variety.

  2. A beautiful group of lady slipper orchids (Paphiopedilum). The large flower on the bottom right has lost its shoe. The shoe/slippy is at the bottom.

  7. Wow, those are beautiful orchids.

    NYC has an annual orchid show too but they are highly commercialized.
