If I was ever asked for my 3 things to go into Room 101 , I know what the first thing would be – the orchid display in Kew Garden’s Princess of Wales Conservatory .
This year’s was particularly disgusting with a sort of orchids meet The Folies Bergere theme .
Individually the flowers are beautiful , but put them together with a load of feathers and stand them in a pond they just look naff .
Mind-you ,I think I’m the only one that felt like that , because you could barely see them through the wall of people extending their big zoom-lenses.
Totally agree. Very disappointing. It was more feathers than orchids.
I liked the ones over the arches at the top of the stairs – they had stuck to 3 colours , purples and whites I think , and had lots of testicular looking sacs hanging down .
