Past met present at the front
entrance area of this year's Pacific Orchid Exposition, as Arader Galleries
provided beautiful nineteenth-century orchid prints and watercolors to line the
entryway.
Each painting was accompanied by
matching live orchids and each were a distinct species--not hybrids. The displays were the perfect interpretation of this
year's show theme, "A Legacy of Orchids," which explored the history
of these amazing plants. Orchids fascinated audiences hundreds of years ago
just as they still do today. POE attendees were able to see in person just how
well each artist captured the flowers' likeness.
