Thanks for sticking along!! We came from here

Now THESE are the Botanical Garden's Collection of Orchids!
Here's the first grouping you see as you enter!
WNY Orchid Show @ The B&ECBG Part Five: The ORCHID house
Unfortunately ... A lot of them were NOIDs .... and this room was crowded so I didn't take many note pics of the names .... Just kept moving along!
If you like one and really want to know the names of them .... let me know .... I could use an excuse to go back there to visit some more, esp. when it's less crowded.
I like the yellow orchids!
And the white ones!
A nice bird to enjoy
A wider shot showing the one side
Another grouping before we move on to some close-ups!
I liked this one
Can one have TOO many orchids?
Nice spotted yellow orchid
Bl. Morning Glory 'H&R'
(L. purpurata x B. nodosa)
THIS ONE IS STELLAR!
These next three are very nice ....
Golden!
Another golden one
Good Day for some SunShine!
The orchids spilled into the next GH
Here's a peak ahead into the next room
I think this is the Ivy Room

Once inside ...... BAM!
Check this one out!
As if one stem on this beauty wasn't enough .... here's a shot of the second spray.
The one next that wasn't too shabby either!!
See!
The Amaryllis were EVERYwhere
Orange Souvreign
Not sure at all what this one is .... but I liked the spots.
Begonia, perhaps? Whatcha think?
Some ivies .... just for the fun of it
Not sure what is covering this trellis .... but I bet it blooms! Wish it were blooming today
A nice surprise inside!
A closer look
There were also a lot of nice Clivias tucked in here and there
Here is a wider shot of the Ivy House for some perspective
I am running out of superlative adjectives!
How outstanding is THIS one!??!
Another interesting Clivia
Is this a Walking Iris with my interesting Clivia?
This one made me say "Wow!!"
Amaryllis RILONA
Very nice one, I think!
Checkers, Anyone??
Each pillar of the trellis shown last post had an interesting water feature with it.
Note the water running down the chain into the urn at the bottom!
I like this one a lot, too .... not sure what it is, but it reminds me of those Ti Good Luck Plants, only not red.
Amaryllis Ferrari
Cherubesque
(Dare I make up words?)
More darlings .... I don't know about you, but they make me feel uneasy!!
^_^
Amaryllis Intokazi
Sorry, this one is a bit contrasty!
A wide shot back ..... give your eyes a change of focal depth.
Another nice view back where we've passed
Another Wider Shot!
This Point ALMOST ends the tour.
BUT WAIT!!! We get back into the main room for more of the Orchid Show Entries that we missed on the way in!!!!
The Following shots are in the NEXT GREENHOUSE where they were selling the orchids.
THESE ORCHIDS WERE ALL FOR SALE
(Then, there will be the final few Show Orchids, and I am SAVING the BEST one for last!!!!)
