It's official ... the orchid just might be my new favorite flower! When the flowers don't come to you because it's cold and snowy and wintery, you have to go to the flowers. This past weekend we took the family to visit the amazing
Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan where orchids were in abundance. I could've taken hundreds of pictures of them because they were gorgeous!

It's one of my favorites, too. Unfortunately, I kill them and all plants. But luckily, your photo lives forever. Gorgeous!
