What is frosty on the outside and tropical on the inside? – the school greenhouse of course. The Laelia anceps and Laelia gouldianas are looking lovely in Cool Americas as usual for the Christmas holiday. What a shame there isn’t a show at this time of year to share the wonderful orchids that flower at the start of the year. Makes me think we need to attempt another year of 365 orchid species. We will see if we can photograph a different orchid species from the collection on every day of 2017 and post them here.
