Orchid Festival in Moscow Botanical garden

Hello my dear friends,

Today I would like to share my photos and album from Orchid Festival in Moscow Botanical garden.https://photos.app.goo.gl/CLWwS68WU8cvYvbAA

When the outside winter and frost -in greenhousees of Botanical garden orchids are blooming.

It is incredible beauty!

I would like to tell you about orchid Venus Rothschild slipper–one of the most expensive and rare in the world.

A very large plant from Northen Borneo with huge spectacular flowers and long “mustache”

In the description in 1888,this orchid was considered the most expensive and rare and equated to the whole state–the mansion.

The biggest obstacle to its spreading is considered long term germination to the first flowering --decade.

This flower bloomed in the Botanical garden for the first time in 2017 at the age of 15.

Hi @helga19 ,

Thank you very much for sharing this beauty with us! The orchid is my favourite flower. Is this Orchid Festival held for the first time or it’s a tradition?

I’m impressed by this Venus Rothschild slipper. Growing it require a lot of patience and dedication, but it’s definitely worth it. Do you know how long is its blooming period?

Hermosas flores @helga19 , la orquídea creo que es una de las flores mas hermosas que existen, sin tan variadas en formas y colores que puedes enamorarte de ella, gracias por compartir esta tradición, En el festival quienes son los que exponen personas que se notan o solamente los grandes jardines botánicos?

Hola @helga19 , como ya abras visto en algunos post de la Patagonia, Río Grande es un lugar muy ventoso poco favorable para las flores y árboles al aire libre, de todas maneras la Municipalidad de la ciudad tiene un vivero en el cual cultiva y prepara alma siglos para luego sembrar en los paseos y canteros de la ciudad, en esta época del año casi a mediados del verano para que entrado el otoño todavía se puede ver algunas flores que colocan en los canteros dando un hermoso aspecto en la ciudad, esto de poner florecitas es uno de los motivos por los cuales pago mis impuestos sin ninguna queja jejejeje
