Description
Taken at Cleveland Botanical Garden - Cleveland OH - For Orchid Mania 2012, This Side of Paradise
I look forward to Orchid Mania every year, because each time I go, I am amazed by new orchids I've never seen before, see some of my favorites, and always look forward to the orchid that smells like chocolate. This year the selection and abundance of orchids weren't nearly as diverse as last year, but there were still plenty of beautiful flowers to appreciate and smell. Because the moth orchids are usually the ones that are sold commercially and don't have any smell, I'm led as often by my nose as my eyes.
This was taken on my first trip up to the Garden and it was an overcast day that lent a very nice, diffuse light through the biodome glass. Although these didn't have much fragrance, I really enjoyed the look and color to this particular orchid. I wish I knew what type of orchid this was, but there is such a large variety of orchids, it would take me forever to find it.
