Like any troubled country we try to forget our day-to-day problems and strive for normality. The autumn show of the Orchid Society of Zimbabwe is one such event. A selection of the orchids are in the album below.

- This one the prize for the best flower on show. They did all have their names attached but I did not note them down. Apparently a lot are imported from Holland!

- It’s quite easy to see shapes of animals in orchids. This one I called the 3 eared rabbit.

The Orchid Society of Zimbabwe has a small premises at the Mukuvisi Woodlands on the way to the airport. Quite a few orchids were for sale though I did not buy any.
