The 2010 National Capital Orchid Show and Sale in Washington D.C. was held on a glorious sunny October weekend. There were hundreds of amazing orchids in bloom and we caught a few on camera. This year, the show was held in the Bonsai Pavilion which has lots of natural light–the displays were enjoyed by thousands people over the course of the weekend. The show is always held on Columbus Day weekend and admission is free.
