I am just learning about growing orchids. This is a Phalaenopsis, the moth orchid, which is one of the best orchids for growing in the house. The blooms last for months. I bought one at Valentine's day and it is still blooming happily 2 months later.
They come in all sorts of colors. Here's one of my favorites.
This is a Paphiopedilum, or lady's-slipper orchid. It looks much like the lady's slippers we see in the woods up north.
This is a Cattleya - I had one of these in my wedding bouquet.
Not sure what type of orchid this one is, but I love the color.
I am looking forward to learning more about growing these beautiful flowers.

You posted about a place we saw today! Orchids make me think of mysterious things, like the movie Adaptation.
It is too bad that place is closing. I love the jungley greenhouse.
