What a beautiful greenhouse. Do you know how old it is? I love going to the one at the Biltmore House in Ashville NC. It has flowers and plants of every kind.

Orchids are one of my favorite floral species to shoot. Have shot the U of Ms show the last two years and once you think you've seen them all here are some new ones. Nice shots---would you mind if I showed a shot I took of a friends orchid she grew at home from a bulb at Walmart??

Designed by Boston architects Kendall Taylor & Stevens and erected by noted greenhouse builders Lord & Burnham, the Orchid Range was the first ornamental building constructed at Duke Farms. The gardens complex at Duke Farms consisted of two primary greenhouse components the Orchid Range, built around 1900, and the 1917 Conservatory.

Thanks---can't believe she grows these from Walmart bulbs. She said one of the most important things she learned about keeping them is to water using ice cubes......Feel free to post a photo at any time .
