Prismatic

Jeanine and Susan, her sister visiting from Vermont, went into Boston this evening to attend an Orchid Exhibition at the Tower Hill Botanical Garden. This year, the annual event featured 1,400 orchids and the theme was Prismatic. “Prisms capture light, which depending on the type of prism, separate visible light into spectral colors, as you see in rainbows. Plants, including orchids, utilize the energy of light for photosynthesis, which helps create the beautiful blooms.” I had originally planned to join them but got tied up at Kyle’s house. He and I spent the day replacing most of the water lines and some of the drains in his house. When it was time to leave for the show, we had not yet restored water service to the house and I did not feel comfortable leaving until we did. The photo above is one of many that Jeanine took at the show.
