photo hunt: family

I wanted to avoid a family crisis and since I couldn't choose the appropriate family picture to post here, I looked for another family... and found a very beautiful one, thanks to the wiki.




Orchidaceae (or Orchid family) is the largest family of the flowering plants.(Angiospermae). Its name is derived from the genus Orchis.

These pictures were taken at the Orchid Exhibition at the Ludwigsburg Palace 's orangery (see prior post) outside Stuttgart.

Since I don't have time to blog on weekends I post my Photo Hunt on Fridays as it allows me to interact with the early birds ( cheers!) .Pls know that I return every weekend visit but sometimes it has to wait until Monday ... sorry about that!

    gorgeous orchidées! These are so delicate and with such beautiful colours! I hope you will visit me again and entry in the diaporama! This was an exhibition of my brother in law in a beautiful wine estate. Nothing to do with spiders but a great moment in a super estate!

    Beautiful, Mar! I ♥ orchids! I have never been to the Orchid Exhibition - although Stuttgart is not too far away and my PILs used to live there before they moved to Spain.

    Simply MARvelous again! Funny coincidence, when you were posting this, we were attending a small Orchid Exhibition here in Stockholm! Though my photohunt is about something not as pleasant as orchids.... *giggles*
