I went to this show on Wednesday after a good lunch at the Glasshouse restaurant, a favourite watering hole near Kew station.
It was a sunny and cold day but inside Kew's glasshouses it felt like summer. I find it an inspiring place to be for the colours of the flowers and the shapes of the tropical foliage especially as many of my silk paintings are close ups of flowers and foliage. I have sketched and painted at Kew on several occasions.

Orchid diplay in the Waterlily House and below are the reflections.
The next group of photos are all from the main display in the Princess of Wales Conservatory
The photo above shows orchids and the one below shows part of one of the orchid clad pillars.
