Any botanists out there affected the same way?

Sigh. So beautiful! Those orchids! Those pitcher plants (I did see some like these in NYC once. They were scary)! Thanks for these glimpses of the magic.
Exquisite! I love orchids and it is the only thing that I can grow well here in Key Largo.
Oh these plants and flowers are so cute!
Just perfect. Thanks for sharing them :)
Regards from Barcelona!
Thanks for those photos. The flowers are so distinctive and the colours amazing.
Greetings from London.
We got some pitcher flowers in as cut flowers here at the shop this fall. We cut open the base of the flower and it was FULL of flys and bugs! DISGUSTING! And they smelled awful too. They looked cool but were so hideous we had to throw them away, we couldn't use them with a good conscience. What if they ended up on someone's buffet!! LOL
oh i wish i had a green thumb and learn how to grow orchids...there are such a splendor !
thank you for the tour !
Dear Tara,
Pitcher plants are definitely unique. I saw some at the UC Berkeley once; they were huge and very, shall we say, "fragrant".
Dear Yoli,
Key Largo?! Lucky you! If you only had one plant to grow, orchids are a great choice. You could be unlucky and only be able to grow pitcher plants :)
Dear Cuban,
London has a wonderful botanical garden. Have you been?
Dear Jemm,
Eeeew! Great story!
Dear Lala,
Orchids are not as difficult to grow as you think. Send me an e-mail if you want some hints.
Tara,
I meant to say "the UC Berkeley Botanical Gardens". I took a phone call and got distracted. I hate how I can only do one thing at a time these days.
OK. Some of those were so odd, you would think they were Fantasia come to life. So cool.
I'll have your questions to you soon. I'm so excited that you are playing along.
These are absolutely gorgeous and heartwarming to look at as we freeze here in DC!
Dear Patricia,
I didn't realize I was providing a public service with these tropical images. Thank you for visiting my blog!
Dear Relyn,
How did you slip in there without me noticing?
Fantasia is the perfect reference to these creepy plants. I can hear the music now, mostly bassoons and french horns.
