The Naples Beach Hotel was bursting with their infamous orchids on Monday, January 11th. The Orchid Program began in 1991 with six plants and little knowledge. Currently the collection numbers approximately 5,000 plants and a full time horticulturist in the Orchid House. We saw many orchids from the collection displayed throughout the resort, and beautiful sprigs were cut and displayed at HB’s, where we enjoyed a lovely lunch overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.
