Carlsbad Flower Feilds

This is Carlsbad Flower Feild's in Carlsbad, Ca. the American flag is 300 by 170-foot and made out of red, white, and blue petunias.

Orchids

These shots are from the orchid green house at the Flower Fields in Carlsbad, California. The orchids in the images below are of the  Cymbidium variety. Orchids have always been my favorite flower, ever since I saw them at Tom Selleck's Black Orchid Restaurant in Honolulu, Hawaii. On that trip I ran into Tom Selleck twice at Hanauma Bay. I went to his restaurant dressed in shorts and a tank top and immediately felt unwelcome, so I took a quick look around before I left (before being escorted out). That quick look also made me quite fond of salt water fish tanks and scuba diving (Hanauma Bay also had a little to do with it also). The Black Orchid is the national flower of Belize. I like orchids so much I even have a special window where I keep mine, it's like a garden window with opaque glass. 

Carlsbad Flower Field Nursery

This is in the nursery of the flower fields that the condo we stayed in overlooks. In fact the condo is in the image, it is the middle floor on the left.
