Title: Orchid Show 蘭花展 (26-Feb-2009)
Post by: chin on 27 February 2009, 02:09:24
A friend of mine is an avid orchid grower and collector. He has organized an orchid show with a few of his friends. I went there to take some pictures, and heard stories of crazy orchid speculations a few years ago.

達摩蘭

At the height of orchid craze, this 達摩蘭 can easily fetch tens of thousands of HK$. This Chinese orchid is appreciated for its leave patterns and formation.

The orchid show was in a private gallery. These pictures were taken in the other part of the gallery.

At the end, I "adopted" this bunch of 6 or 7 orchids. I hope they will grow well in the office.
