Int'l Garden Show Impressions: Close-ups

As promised, the International Garden Show part 2! This time some close-ups around the grounds. I think it's nice to feature some of the plants up close and personal as a contrast to the masses of flowers seen in the beds from the last post. I'll just let the pictures themselves and their captions do the talking.

Hope you enjoy!

indoor desert exhibit - check out the size of that root!

a floating plant - look at the "bubble"!

a lotus bloom opened up

...and the lotus seed pod






bonsai succulents!


more bonsai succulents!
there was a nice orchid exhibit

love the color and delicacy of this orchid

love the pattern on this one

and the nice blue color of this one!

scary orchid!

a few schools from the area had their plants on display, which also gave the bees something to do!

cool!

some great looking snapdragons

the monorail they built for the park, which I didn't ride due to the hefty price

my favorite color of snapdragon

a nice lily in the African section

Sorry about not having names for all of these pics, but I did at least have a nice time taking pictures and admiring the beautiful flowers, though!

Check back soon for some patterns from the show!
