tom nelson took quite a few pictures of the orchids including some very nice ones of the showy ladyslippers. the next three are some of his (excellent) pictures. I didn't have any wide area images and these really show how many orchids there were in this room

some older plants but with a seed pod from last year

the queen in all of her glory!
I hope you've all enjoyed this trip, it was a lot of fun meeting and driving around with everyone, and a native orchid hunt with matt young is always an adventure! thanks to matt, and hopefully we will see all of the visitors once again
