Western Hemisphere takes shape

The left hand side of our display, which represents the Western Hemisphere, took shape today thanks to Andre Roux and Henry Oakley.  Orchids cascade down a mountainside into a mossy ravine.  Plants in this section include Vanilla, Cattleya,
Masdevallia, Oncidium and Anguloa.






The centre of the display will consist of plants from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, including orchids which are native to Oman, whose Ministry of Tourism is sponsoring this year's display.  An interesting terrestrial, Epipactis veratrifolia, is one of these and we are delighted to be able to include it on the display.
