Slipper Orchid

Is this in your house Bathgate?

This is a really pretty one, love the colours on it too.

Karen: This was at the New York Botanical Garden. Thanks Kate me too a real treat to see this in bloom.

Ah..I see! Lovely! Scott took me to the Orchid festival at Kew Gardens for my 30th birthday...Oh I was so young...anyway, it was lovely. But the best Orchids I’ve ever seen were in Edinburgh botanic gardens. They have the Vanilla Orchid and some incredible slipper Orchids there too.

OH cool. I'd love to have a vanilla orchid. Not sure I trust myself though, lol. They are expensive.

They are also massive! The one in Edinburgh is ...oh..I can’t remember very well, but certainly several metres long! I don’t think it would make a good houseplant.
