New photos are posted to www.highplainsgardening.com. Featured Photos showcases scenes from the World of Orchids exhibit taken at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden this March, 2023. "Fort Worth Orchid Society President Dotty Woodson described “World of Orchids” as a first-time orchid event of this magnitude in Texas." This was my inaugural visit to any orchid show, and I was not disappointed. The orchids were expertly and creatively displayed throughout the Rainforest Conservatory among tropical plants, waterfalls and pools. The World of Orchids exhibit has been extended to April 16th due to popular demand.

If every day where a day in summer, would we truly appreciate the joys they bring? As John Steinbeck put it, "What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness." During these long cold months of winter I yearn for greenery and flowers, for buzzing bees and the beauty of butterflies, but I'll content myself with these summer scenes of delicacy and exuberance in www.HighPlainsGardening.com 's Featured Photos. Scroll down from the home page, and click to enlarge the photos.
