| Your father and I spent Saturday in the greenhouses at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens. It was wonderful! Smelled like spring. The orchid show was wonderful. I've included a few of the many pictures I took. |
 |
| These two guys are brothers. Aren't they awesome! Only one can be loose at a time. As soon as the caged one was brought in, the one in the tree changed from being almost invisible in the tree to bright red. It was pretty dramatic. |

Sarah, here is a friend for Bud - did I get the name right? |
 |
| This very lovely orchid is a slipper orchid. Several years ago Gayle gave me my first orchid which was like this one. |
 |
| The orchids were mixed in with the beautiful flora and fauna of the rainforest. |
 |
| The orchids were not the only beautiful flowers in this beautiful setting. |
 |
 |
| These tiny little finches were very busy about the feeders. They were brilliant... and so tiny - much smaller than Hobbs. |
 |
| I took so many pictures of these vines. |
 |
| And here is my "orchid" among the orchids. |
