The Girl and I took over 600 pictures at Kew Royal Botanic Gardens during our visit. There was so much to take in that it was really overwhelming when we walked though the doors of each of the indoor gardens.
So to break up the pictures, my first post will be about the incredibly gorgeous orchid display which is currently being held in the Princess of Wales Conservatory.
In a nutshell, I want to pack the worlds largest picnic lunch and move in to the place for at least a month so I can examine every.single.flower.
There must have been over 1,000 different shades of green in the conservatory alone. And I’m from Seattle, so you’d think I would have had my fill of green by now. But no, this place, was magical.
I probably would not have even known about these gardens if it had not been for the Telegraph article a few weeks ago. I was hoping to run into the girl with auburn hair, but no such luck.
The pictures were simply stunning and once I knew we were going to London for the weekend, we put a visit to Kew Botanic Gardens at the top of our list.
Look at this archway of orchids. What a perfect backdrop for a wedding.
This one is not to shabby either.
So much color, so little time.
Last month when I was in Denver the Denver Botanic Gardens had orchids on display as well. So I’m guessing maybe this is the time of year orchids are on display at botanic gardens all over the world. So if you have a botanic garden nearby, please, please, please take a day and go for a visit. You won’t regret it.
Peace Out Girl Scouts,
Have a beautiful Monday,
♥ Mavis

They have an orchid festival here…but it’s over Christmas so we’ll miss it. In Guatemala, there are over 130 (160?) varieties of orchids.
Thanks for posting the pics of your trip. They gave me a pick me up as I am home with a sick little boy and my van was rear ended last night ! London is on my list of places to visit can’t wait to see the rest of your pictures.
Thank you for this post! We just found out my husband has a new assignment (Air Force) in England. This post makes me so excited to be able to be visiting (I guess living near) London, soon!
