Orchid Show
Finally, the weather's looking up! Today was a nice, sunny 55 degrees! The Boy and I got up early to see the Orchid Show at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx.
I'm not much of a plant person, and neither is the Boy, but the NYBG did a great job simulating a tropical rainforest environment in which some orchids grow and arranging other orchids into such aesthetically pleasing sights. Alright, so our main motivation for going was that my work was having a corporate members day, so neither of us had to pay the $18 admission.
But it was a nice day to see the flowers in the greenhouse. The rest of the park was barren. The trees looked like twigs with no leaves, the grass was dead and everything looked bleak. Some pictures from the show:
