          More like tears streaming down my face as I stare off into the sunset while Circle of Life is playing on repeat in the background. Hopefully that makes sense.

    It’s crazy what these kinds of places can grow! We can’t even keep an orchid alive for more than a few months… beautiful.

      Totally, they had so many amazing orchids! And this is in a high dessert. As far as I know, orchids like moisture.

        Even more impressive! They’re finicky plants, my mother in law was able to keep tons of them but that was in a tropical environment. Still amazes me though.

          I know, it’s incredible how people can do this. I’ll be over here happy my ZZ plant is still alive.

      Is that the kind of orchid in this picture? I took so many pictures, I can’t remember them all.

      Agreed. Easily the coolest flower, although maybe someone will prove me wrong.
