I had a business trip to Chicago in November last year and managed to take a
few days off on the way home to visit the Atlanta Botanic Gardens and then
several orchid nurseries in San Francisco.

Following are some of the more interesting orchids I saw. Many thanks to
Danny, Eric, Dan, Scott and Bob for giving of their time and access to their
collections. Very much appreciated.

The first series of photos are from Atlanta. For those of you who haven't
been, this is the entrance to the Gardens. This is a must go to place if
you are interested in orchid species.
