Orchids in Lynn Estate Greenhouses, Waltham, Boston

[ccroy]

The Lyman Estate Greenhouses are among the oldest surviving greenhouses in the United States. The orchid house has been there from 1840. Rare orchids covered with exotic flowers bloom throughout the year. I shot many pictures of these exotic orchids during my visit to Boston to meet my son living over there.

Shot with Nikon 60/2.5 micro lens on D300

Beautiful! I like the first better too, the way they are pressing against each other pushing to the front.

Thanks for looking

I don't think there would be any problem in taking a tripod, though I shot all the pictures handheld. I suggest that you must visit the greenhouse.
