After spending the morning with butterflies, mom and I headed to the Botanical Garden for the Orchid Show. Shapes, colors, sizes, patterns…no two were alike. These were not your Mother’s Day corsage.

In addition to the orchids, we enjoyed lunch and a walk around the grounds.

Here’s mom at the Japanese Garden, perfecting the art of koi feeding without fattening up the ducks.

And for good measure, a look at the biggest aloe plant I think I have ever seen.
