Speachless Sunday: Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens

Orchids at Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens

Last weekend my husband and I went to the Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens which is just south of Charlotte. This was just about the last of the summer color so Crepe Myrtles were the highlight of the outdoor gardens. However, when I entered the orchid gardens I was overwhelmed with the way the plants were naturally growing literally in the air! What a treat!

WOW we have one Orchid in flower now on our bay window and we love it. To look at this is jst fantastic thanks for the photo. It gives me an idea for something on a smaller scale inside our home

Beautiful...speechless!

I definitely have to get down that way and check this out! We went to the NC Zoo a while back and their greenhouse/aviary was just amazing. OK - now to put this on my list of 'have to get there' places ...

One could get lost in a botanical garden. We have some here that you set out to see for an hour and the afternoon comes around and there are more rooms to see yet.

I envy the green thumb that is growing these orchids, they are simply gorgeous!

Orchid beauty is spectacular and long-lasting, what a treat to see these at the end of summer. Thanks for sharing your find!

I'm Speechless in Asheville...THIS is gorgeous!

Very pretty Diane, and the picture reminds me of Florida too because of the moss!

And they are so colorful! Not just pink - love the interplay with the moss also.

I do love to look at the orchids but I'm afraid The would be dead in days under my care.

Amanda: Thank you!

Carole: Just so you know, this wasn't the best time of year for the gardens. I would definitely wait until spring or during their bulbs!

Tom: I agree, they are such a wonderful and peaceful escape!

Leolinda: Yes, they are!

Sara: Thank you!

janeAnne: I love how they are suspended in the air!

Susie: Not up to your quality but I tried!

Alexandra: Yes, the moss and variety of colors are incredible!

Terry: They need lots of light and just the right temperatures. I was able to grown them in a bathroom window in CA but haven't tried here!
