Orchids Everywhere

A while back Tony and I went to the Franklin Observatory for the orchid display. There were so many beautiful varieties.



In addition to the orchids they had different rooms with different eco systems. (rain forest, desert, etc.) It was fun to see the banana tree. I wish that the flower would have been in full bloom. There were many different types of plants and flowers.



On of the best displays they had was the Disney Carousel. It was on a turntable and had a train that wound around the little characters.




In addition to the plants they had these amazing glass sculptures spread around in different areas to enhance the plants. The bottom picture is looking up at a glass ceiling as you walked through a small tunnel. These glass pieces are the work of artist Dale Chihuly.
