White Phalaenopsis

One of the most popular species of orchids, phalaenopsis are real drama queens. When massed together they make a real statement. For those of you living in Southern California, there is an orchid farm in Landers that's open to the public. Early each October they hold the Morongo Basin Orchid Festival. Enjoy tours, food and entertainment. It's a great chance to see how they grow orchids in the desert. Check this year's date at www.Gublers/com

Orchid Waterfall

The conference is over and most of the attendees have headed home, but as I review my photos, this a spectacular one that doesn't do the actual scene the justice it deserves. These beautiful Phalaenopsis were striking in that they were so perfectly matched, all the same size and shape, all with the same number of blooms, all 24 plants.
