Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden: The Conservatory, Part 2 - Orchids

Back in mid-January, dear husband and I spent a beautiful day at the Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond, VA.  It was our early anniversary celebration.  We haven't gotten away for our anniversary, just the two of us, for a number of years.  

We'd had a cold, dreary week before that weekend.  Although we had some indoor plans in case the weather didn't work out, it sunned up and was in the 40's and lower 50's.  We spent most of the weekend outside, soaking up the sun.

However, we did spend about an hour inside the Conservatory, enjoying the flowers (Part 1 here).

I wandered around and took lots of pictures, and dear husband sketched orchids.  The orchid room was beautiful:

Begonias can get huge when they're not living as annuals.
