Today, a few more flower shots. All of these are various types of orchids growing, as the title says, at the Niagara Parks Commission greenhouses in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
The one I found particularly intriguing is the fourth one. It is almost spider-like.
One thing I find difficult to understand is why so few people visit the greenhouses, or are even aware of them. The are only a pleasant walk up from the Falls and access is free with only a small parking fee if you bring your car. This weekend the Easter display starts a three week run and should be very good. After that, a series of themed exhibits runs there each running several weeks so repeat visits would be worthwhile. And the best time to visit, I find, is in a snow storm. The contrast between the cold outside and the heat and humidity inside is incredible.
