Orchid show adventures…

So today was kind of crazy… I picked up Mom and Harriet at 10, and we set off to the Franklin Park Conservatory for the annual Central Ohio Orchid Society’s orchid show — yay for free shows to see amazingly beautiful flowers…

We arrived at the Conservatory and went in only to find that… there were no tables set up and no people. So we asked at the front desk — turns out the show is at the Airport Marriott hotel…

So off we went to the Marriott and since we were driving through Bexley, we of course had to stop for some Blocks Bagels!!

We got to the airport area, drove the airport loop and saw just about every hotel chain *except* Marriott… after another stop and a brief phone call, we learned their location and finally arrived about an hour and a half after we’d meant to!!

I am convinced that orchids are the most beautiful flowers on earth. They are simply amazing — all the different varieties, sizes, colors, shapes, everything. I am especially fascinated with the miniature ones — and hopefully will be able to keep this lil girl that I purchased alive!!

    Really glad you`re back! I think orchids are beautiful too but houseplants die if I look at them :)
