Canberra Orchid show

Today marks the opening of Floriade in Canberra but I'm gonna wait a bit till the flowers are in fuller bloom.

Anyways, the Canberra Orchid was on today as well. I sorta mentioned about this in my post on 'Spring is in the air!'.

It was held at St. John's Church hall (?) in Reid.

I took soooooooooooooooooooooooo many pics! Here are some.

There were so many variety of orchids to see and buy.

Cymbidiums proved Popular to buy. They are one of the easiest orchids to look after if your a beginner.

Some of them were also as big as my hand.

There were rare ones as well to see.

Yes! I love orchids! Enjoy!

Spring is in the air!

September. How the year has flown by ~ ah.

Ok, I really should've posted these up on the first day of spring but as you know from me previous posts, it does take me a while to upload the photo's I take.

Anyways, the first day of spring was such a gorgeous day, so I spent the afternoon, after uni classes, taking pics of the flowers around my street and garden.

I just love orchids, these are the queens of the flower world!

Jonquils smell really nice.

 

The plum blossoms down the street were too beautiful! Couldn't resist the urg to take lots of pics. 

These were taken on the first day of spring!

Enjoy! I look forward to Floriade and Canberra's orchid show that starts this weekend (17th sept).

Oh yeah, I don't think I've ever mentioned the fact that I'm also into plants and flowers?

I've been one since I was young!
