Right in our own backyard, at the San Diego Zoo, is a world class botanical garden with an amazing orchid greenhouse. Travel across town, not across time-lines to find over 3,000 orchid plants from around the globe. The collection includes rare and unusual orchid plants from over 800 species all in one place.
Talk with an orchid expert or a member of the San Diego County Orchid Society during special Orchid Odyssey days, the first Sunday of March, June, September and December, and also the third Friday of each month. So mark your calendars for the next event, March 7th to take a trip to the Zoo’s orchid exhibit. For more information see http://www.sandiegozoo.org/calendar/zoo_plant_days.html

Blue Orchid lyrics
You got a reaction
You got a reaction didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue
Something better than nothing
Something better than nothing, it's giving up
You need to do something
Try keep the truth from showing up
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
You're given a flower
But I guess that there's just no pleasing you
Your lips tastes sour
But you think that it's just me teasing you
You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue
Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway
Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway
Get behind me
You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue
Totally photoshopped to be blue!
