On Saturday evening I went for the first time to an after hours event at Kew Gardens . It was the Orchids of Peru. There are 3000 species of Orchid in Peru. This was an amazing event the colours and the brilliant displays were accompanied with Peruvian music and food and scientific talks.
The talk we went to was really interesting all about pollination . This exhibition was in the Princess of Wales conservatory and could also be visited in the day. The colours were fantastic.
There were some brilliant cacti and other plants as well as Alpacas, flamingoes, a whale shark and more constructed from plant materials a wonderful display.
Last year this event was the orchid of Costa Rica . I will be going next year , I wonder where it will focus on next year, definitely an event to recommend.
