The Orchidarium

My friends and I like to refer to the Orchidarium as our little secret place, our secret garden, if you will. This is so because we have been going to this place to buy our gardening needs since high school, and we only see a few people about. This is nice because just outside the premises is Burnham Park, which is always a busy place. We can stay at the Orchidarium for as long as we like. In fact, back in high school we were there at an average of three times a day. The stall owners there were already familiar with us and we consequently got good discounts for our purchases.

And then I had to go to Manila to work in the early 90s and I lost touch with our friends at the Orchidarium. Very recently though I have been going back, this time with my wife and Jo-Lo. A few of the people there still recognize me sans my missing head of hair and I have gained a lot of weight through the years. It's nice going back there again. It's one of my happy places in Baguio.

Before, there was only one way into the orchidarium. Now, there is an entrance from the biking area as well. The Orchidarium is located at the far end of the biking area. At the other end is the Children's Park.

This new path is landscaped and is an attraction by itself.I have never seen so many bloody hearts in one group!
