Yellow Orchids

Ohio History
Orchid Bunch
Here are a few more gorgeous orchids. I love the combination of rich rose pink and golden yellow in the ones above. They were in the peak of bloom, as you can see from the bud that has not yet opened. Did you know that the scent of orchids varies as much as the color? Some have a sweet, perfume-like aroma, while others give off a rotten smell to attract flies. Some have a strong scent while others have no smell at all. Each one's scent is specifically designed to attract the type of insect that orchid requires for pollination.

Orchids with Waterfall
In the center of the Rain Forest, there was a twenty-five foot waterfall that fell down over a rocky cliff. It was also surrounded by beautiful greenery and some very unique flowers. These lemon yellow orchids grew up in front of the waterfall, stretching delicately lined pink and orange centers to the sunny window. Again, these beautiful flowers were joined by unopened buds signaling the peak of bloom.
