As summer comes to a close, there’s still so much to see in the Garden! Georgiann Keller is back from her vacation and eager to share the beautiful flowers and plants she’s found upon her return. This week, a variety of orchids are in bloom in the Greenhouse. You’ll find moth orchids (Phalaenopsis) and Intergeneric hybrid oncidium orchids with their beautiful shades of light pink and deep yellow. These are just a few of the blooms waiting for you this week.
