An Orchid House

Where is this Sue? Some of the most beautiful Orchids I've ever seen.

Karen, it is at Estepona, Spain, near Gibraltar.

How marvellous ! Thank you for sharing your visit.
Much appreciated.

Its a wow from me ....

Thanks, I guessed Spain, but didn't know where. Its a big country.

Some beautiful Orchids Siris and the little plants are Fittonia I think, from memory of a plant name exam I did years ago. They are similar to Coleus but a lot smaller. I could be wrong though.

Beautiful orchids in a beautiful setting, Siris.

Reminded me that we visited McBeans, Orchid Specialists near Lewes, many years ago, and were lucky enough to be shown round the place.

Had a look at the website this morning and was shocked to read that it had faced closure in 2014, but was rescued by a Mrs Rose Armstrong who visited it the day before it was due to close.

It looks a lovely place and a credit to Mrs Armstrong and her team, and it's in the UK! :O)

Thanks for the Fittonia name, Thorney, it does look like them in a living wall.
Eirlys, looks like Mcbeans have some wonderful Cybidium, my favourite, cause I can provide the conditions they like and so they thrive for me. Don't pass by Lewes, but was near Estepona last week so paid a visit, pleased I did.

Such stunning varieties that you for sharing.

this is such a lovely blog siris. thanks for sharing. they have such a wide range of flower form.

Fascinating thank you

Lovely and not somewhere I'm ever likely to go so really appreciate you sharing Siris, thankyou..

Thank you for viewing.

My word what a place to visit.......I imagine you were well chuffed!! amazing orchids, out of this world.

Was there, years ago, a lovely town, this place has very little rain, lots of sun and is quite dry which makes it the perfect spot for an orchidarium doesn't it?

Seaburngirl, Orchids, 2nd largest genus of flowering plant 880+, of which I have all of 5 different species.
Loosestrife. maybe it has changed since you visited. It is still a popular tourist destination, with a pleasant promenade. There is the old town and fishing port.
The orchid House is newish and on the site of the old agricultural collecting yard which has now moved further out.

What a spectacular building worthy of holding all those beautiful orchids.

Spectacular inside and out, Stroller, did you spot the Baobab Tree in the outside grounds.
