Batavia Orchid Society show features hard-to-grow flora
WHEATON – The hundreds of orchids at the Batavia Orchid Society’s annual show displayed a variety of colors and shapes that defied the imagination.
There were large and small orchids, some with speckled petals, sporting hues from pale green and butter yellow to blood-red and hot fuchsia.
Some were smooth-petaled. Others looked like velvet. Some had a pouchlike purse. Others were simple with just three petals.
