{style} New York Botanical Gardens

While strolling (or, frolicking, if you will) through the NYBG's Orchid show this past Saturday, my friends and I decided to take some impromptu photos while taking a breather from the humid air inside the conservatory. Still working on trying to not be awkward, but I love Ruth's perspective on these...


and this is how she does it...

NYBG's The Orchid Show: On Broadway

I am a little flower obsessed, but I don't think there is a flower I love more than an orchid.  The intricacy of the colors & details of its roots are like no other.  I somehow have never been up to the New York Botanical Gardens and made it a point to make plans with two of my lifetime friends yesterday-especially when the temperature has finally made it to over 50 degrees.  This year's "On Broadway" show was designed by the talented, Tony award-winning set designer Scott Pask & image-maker Drew Hodges, who created a lovely stage & chandeliers out of these masterpieces.

There are too many photos to share all of them, but picked some favorites.
