The Jardim Orquídea in Funchal, Madeira, Part 1

[Ricky]

This orchid garden and nursery was founded by the family Pregetter from Austria. Only the orchid exhibition is open for public viewing. These pictures are made there. This year I didn´t found so many flowering orchids there, this may be because of the bad weather conditions in december (?).

First ... coffee and cake with a nice view down to funchal:

Now ... let´s go inside and view the flowers:

Enjoy your vacation.

Well it was much too short, like always. :-(

When I came back to my cold hometown I ask myself "Why did I left this beautiful island?".

 

[W. Beetus]

Those are all quite nice! I like the Miltoniopsis.

I´m sorry, but there were no names on the plants.

I have an excel sheet with all of their plants but it contains 30 Phrags, so it is not helpful. Sorry.
