67th Mid-Year Orchid and Garden Show

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Orchids never fail to amaze me. I would always catch another glance whenever I see orchids used as ornaments or decorations at various occasions. They simply are marvelous to look at.

It has been said that "orchids have long been a symbol of love and beauty. They are grown by enthusiasts for their sheer elegance and fascination. They are also favored as either a corsage worn on the dress, or as a wristband at many proms and special events.

On many occasions, from weddings to conferences, sprays of orchids grace the tables as decoration. With over 750 genera of orchids, over 30,000 hybrids and more introduced every year, there is a huge variety of orchids to choose from for the orchid enthusiast. "
