- This is so beautiful.... why are my eyes wet?
  
  Tears of joy?
It looks like a Turtonator
- Turtonator
  
  Had to look this up, and yes, it totally does.
Orchids are so cool
- Agreed. Easily the coolest flower, although maybe someone will prove me wrong.
The denver community would love this
- I'll be happy to post it!
It's crazy what these kinds of places can grow! We can't even keep an orchid alive for more than a few months.. beautiful.
- Totally, they had so many amazing orchids! And this is in a high dessert. As far as I know, orchids like moisture.
  
  Even more impressive! They're finicky plants, my mother in law was able to keep tons of them but that was in a tropical environment. Still amazes me though.
What a weird looking giraffe.
I just got 2 dendrobium tobaense var. giganteum's. I love orchids.
- Is that the kind of orchid in this picture? I took so many pictures, I can't remember them all.
