Description
Gardens throughout Balboa Park include the Botanical Building which contains many wonderful species of orchids, such as this exotic orange specimen shown against a blue reflective backdrop of a glazed ceramic pot.
Balboa Park in San Diego, California, was named for Spanish maritime explorer Vasco Nunez de Balboa. The park hosted the 1915/1916 Panama California Exposition and is one of the oldest and best parks in the United States.
This original floral shot has been honored by features in Fine Art America groups:
