London is currently hosting the seventeenth European Orchid Show and Conference, in the Royal Horticultural Society Halls, Victoria.
Though this really is a belated review, as tomorrow (Sunday 12th April) is the last day and the show has been running since Thursday 9th, there are going to be more orchids available to buy on Sunday.
There are two rooms to the exhibit, showing a wide range of orchids, as well as an area for buying orchid-nerd books, and a gallery of ridiculously detailed paintings.
As I'm not a flower nerd, I did stick out like a sore thumb, going "ooh" and "ahh" at the pretty colours, whilst everyone else around me knew all the Latin names. Fear not, they are kind, harmless flower enthusiasts.
Though as they are enthusiasts, not all of the flowers are named and labeled, as their trained eyes can recognise the species, and hybrids.
£11 for a ticket, which lets you into both rooms.
