We went to the gardens to see the annual orchid show that opened last week. With the opening last year of the new visitor’s center this orchid show was held in a new venue. I’m thinking now that for the last couple of years there was no orchid show, because the old visitor’s where it had been held had been torn down. That plus the pandemic leads me to believe that this year’s orchid show is the first one in three years. I rarely wear masks these days, but I wore one today. Even though it was not super crowded there were more than enough people in the show. The new venue has plenty of ventilation, making it seem safer. It is like a two-story green house. After the orchid show, we toured the Climatron, which looked and felt like being back in Costa Rica.
