A splash of colour to add between some rather dull, brown images : ) More Orchids from the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo, taken on February 17th.

I was going to call these Orchids, but then wasn't sure if that is what they are. Growing in the new Enmax Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo. Whatever they are, they are very attractive. Later: I think this is Yellow Ground Orchid, Spathoglottis plicata.

This is one of the species of Orchid that are growing from a tree in the main entrance hall at the Calgary Zoo's newly opened Conservatory. Rather spectacular, I thought. Wouldn't mind being in that warm, humid, tropical space today, instead of sitting at home, feeling the very cold air swirling around my ankles as I sit at my computer, LOL.
