On Sunday the Mackay Orchid House in Queens Park hosted their annual Queens Park Orchid House Promotional Day – with many amazing Orchids on display.
It was like walking into a huge house of colour ~ there was so many wonderful plants to look at and so much colour that it took your breath away. Even Cameron, Kyle and their Friend was amazed with what they had on display. From Pinks, to Reds, to Yellows and even white Orchid’d. We stayed for over an hour looking around, and could have stayed longer if they were not so hungry!

There were workshops on the day, as well as Orchids for Sale. Food stall and Coffee Van. The Queens Park gorgeous garden beds added to the day, as well as a Playground for kids to have fun on nestled next to the Orchid House. If you are a keen fan of flowers then the day is sure one that I would highly recommend!
I went a bit crazy with photos, and snapped away. I could easily have snapped many more 🙂
Here they all are in a video for you to drool over……

Spring is still in the air and the orchids are flowering – Townsville had an orchid display last week-end also! Lovely pics of lovely flowers. I have some orchids at home, but I am not very good with them – they hardly ever flower. I think they are only meant to flower once a year but some of mine don’t even do that. The ones that do flower are tiny white flowers that come out after it rains. Jan

Hi Jan,
Was the Townsville Orchid Display any good?
We loved the Mackay Orchid show – so many amazing colours and plants to look at. Loved the display, could have easily stayed there longer.
Maybe yours need more added nutrients to the soil?
Cheers

I could spend hours at a flower show like that! I love orchids but I am incapable of keeping any plant alive!
It was beyond amazing Lisa – and yep I can grow flowers but not too sure about keeping Orchids alive 🙂
