As well as the orchids growing alongside the airplants in the Curious Garden exhibit, Atlanta Botanical Garden has two very impressive orchid houses.
One is warm and humid and features mostly large and quite 'showy' blooms - as seen behind the Curious Garden 'Chalices' exhibit..
The other is a cooler house, featuring a collection of orchids collected from high altitudes, mostly rather smaller - and very few of these were in flower...this is the only one that I spotted...
In the warm house there were almost too many to take in. Here are just a few that caught my eye..
Not all of them were 'typical' orchid colours...
A beautiful and unusual collection anyway and just one Georgia native wild orchid in flower outside..
