MyShadowProductions #82 - Orchid Showcase at DBG

Hello again!

Mid-January is time for the Orchid Showcase at the Denver Botanic Gardens (DBG). It is a long display of color in the Orangery (Reminiscent of Renaissance European greenhouses, the Orangery showcases year-round color with exotic plants and Italian cypresses )

In my opinion the setting makes it challenging to photograph the orchids because of the background of greenhouse windows and frames and random plants? Or, it showcases their uniqueness because they still tend to stand out?




There were several inspirational verses posted along the display of orchids:







Not sure I get this one??

Here is a movie/video created from my photos:

While there, I walked through the Gardens to take in the changes that winter has brought to the scenery.

I noticed that I missed these items in my previous post about Outside Art at DBG:






A subtle suggestion for Life :)

I like the colors and roofline.

You decide??

While walking through the Gardens I noticed that a green wirey vine was “attached” to a lot of trees. Maybe this is the dreaded Christmas light infestation that I have overheard a few horticulturists bemoan as the Holidays approached:)




                 
Hope you have a great week!!

  1. Enjoyed the many plants and colors. It was interesting that they made it a mindfulness walk with Thich Nhat Hahn- he is the Bundestag spiritual teacher I thought you should check out on YouTube. Thx
