Orchids in an outside plant box

Are those Vandaenopsis, Delonix?

Tugbrethil:

They're Vanda orchids.

There gorgeous ,but why not allowed to touch ? is it because they are very delicate ?

Mushybanna:

If they allowed the many thousands of visitors to touch these orchids there would be nothing left. lol! : > ) (it's true though) There's lots of other orchids growing in the trees there...they are out of reach also.

In nurseries they call it "finger blight". There used to be a saguaro cactus planted in the conservatory in the New York Botanical Gardens. People kept poking it with their umbrellas to see if it was really real. It eventually got a disease from this constant wounding, and died!

Wow! they are so much so beautiful that I just want do not want to navigate away from this page.

Tugbrethil:

Yes, finger blight is common in most nurseries and botanical gardens. : > )

Camillia:

lol! Soon I will posting many other orchids...as most orchids species bloom in fall and winter here.
