Orchids

These are the beautiful orchids at the Belle Isle Conservatory......beautiful flowers, good light and some pretty good photos! There are also Cyclamen in full bloom and Kalanchoe almost ready to bloom. I came across some other exotic flowers that I was not able to identify. They put identifying signs on the trees but not the flowers
I wonder who takes care of the conservatory and the greenhouses. There sure is a lot of work that needs done. The cacti room was a mess...sad to see things so deteriorated.  A lot of trimming of trees , deadheading and just general maintenance is needed. At the conservatory entrance  there was a pretty metal flower cart but the flowers that were in it were mostly dead. Too bad the city of Detroit did not agree to have the State of Michigan run the island as a state park because it sure needs a influx of cash.
Still in all, it was nice to see flowers and color in the middle of February and I had an enjoyable few hours there.
