Yesterday we've been to Royal 
Botanical Gardens: Annual Orchid Show and Sell. There were, I think, a hundred of species, all colors, hues, shapes and textures. Both the orchids traditionally used to show off the splendor, and the tiny yellow and pink flowers of a weird shape - like colorful tadpoles. And scarlet trillium-like, and long yellow oval-shaped "boats" that looked more like... poppies.
Baobeir took a few dozens of photos, but we are short of disk space on our "family treasure", so he didn't download the photos and went for a conference with the camera with all those exciting pictures. Hopefully the camera (and its owner
) will be back home on Friday, and before that I'll try to clean as much as I can.
Baobeir has two talks (and one of them is an invited talk) at Am'rika's Physical Society Meeting in Baltimore. I hope he went there still impressed and inspired. And that was our neighbour G, the mother of my "French student" V, who drove us there. She borrowed the car from V's father as soon as she heard from me about the exhibition.
