We went to Longwood Gardens over the weekend. They have some great rubies there. I love the Conservatory, everything is laid out just right. When you walk into the Orchid room the smell overwhelms you! It is always that way. There were so many this year that had Red in them. Maybe it because we are always looking for the ruby color that the family eyes spied them. So here we go enjoy the view, Click on each photo to enlarge.The Orchid Room- One of the walls.
There are four walls.
This is the Beethoven.
Known as the Rouge
This one was my favorite this year.
The colors are great together.
Love the ruby tips
I tied to get a great shot of its Ruby color.
It was much more ruby than these show.
The last shot is a closest.
Velvet texture is hard to Photograph

These are wonderful ruby orchids - quite different from what I've seen here, although there are hundreds of different varieties. [Yes, for many, these past two years of recession have really been a shocker. I'm sorry for your friends.]

The flowers are so beautiful! To step into such gardens, our senses are heightened so much: visually, the colors and textures (velvet anyone??) and the aroma - I can sense that just by looking. Such beauty!
