*garden #4*

{our next stop at that botanical garden was this building called the Dorothy Chapman Fuqua Conservatory...it was amazing...see for yourself...}

{orchids lined the walls...}

{beautiful and exotic leaves and blooms}

{and these...unreal! my husband and i were so fascinated with these...we just couldn't believe something like this grew in nature...they look like pipes don't they? the have a syrup in the dip of the flower that traps bugs...gross i know..but so cool to look at!}

it is always neat to go & discover new kinds of plants and flowers! just when you've thought you've seen it all ... you know? that last one is CRAZY! and the little pink that looks like it has 2 petals - that's a new one! karah had orchids hanging upside down from the light fixtures at her wedding - it was a cool effect! i really need to go to shaw's garden next time i'm in st.louis ... want to meet me there? :)
