This year’s subject featured a celebration of Thailand’s vibrant colours, civilisation too various found life. (Last year's demo festival focused on India.) About 1,100 orchid species grow inward the wild inward Thailand, according to i of the exhibit’s signs. I had no idea! Many of these orchids grow inward remote places too tin sack grow inward the Blue Planet inward warm or cool-climate rainforests or fifty-fifty on trees, which are known every bit epiphytic.

Orchids seemed to fill upwardly closed to every inch of the Princess of Wales Conservatory – hanging inward pots, planted vertically, suspended inward air too fifty-fifty decorating a Thai palace. I took a ton of photos with my novel Canon 50mm lens which allowed me to focus on the flowers themselves. I didn’t bother with finding out the names of the orchids, merely if you lot tin sack position whatever of them, delight experience gratuitous to comment.
