Wow, can't believe I missed this one. You did a great job, Melanie. Just wanted to add a few I took at Selby a couple of weeks ago, and note to all: This garden has something different every time you go, so don't feel as if you've "seen it all" if you visit once! I'm a member and go at least once a month, sometimes more often if I have visitors. My membership gets me in free, and my friends get in for $5.

They change the displays in the conservatory all the time, as you can see by the different orchids in my pictures from what Melanie showed in May. There's always something different blooming in the gardens, too.

Melanie, did you get a picture of the big oak tree with dozens of Bromeliads and orchids growing in it? It changes all the time, too.

Pink Medinilla and so many Vanda Pachara Delight in dramatic blue! They had a blues concert in the garden that day.

This is a gigantic mobile with hanging plants on it, tillandsias and bromeliads and orchids, Oh My!

On weekends they have an artist painting kids' faces. Her work was so beautiful I'd have a lot of trouble washing it off if it were my kid's face. The little girl in the striped dress had a unicorn all down one side of her face.
