If you live in the area you can still go see them. They're beside the Rackham Fountain (across from the camels).

Here are a few shots from this past weekend:

And your next photo of the lavenders, pinks, bitone and a dk purple is making me re-think my pastel bed. Totally gorgeous!

You've done a great job.

The beds were put in long before I came along and I don't want anyone to think I was taking the credit for them. It was just so nice to finally see things in bloom for once.

BTW here (top of the page) is a shot from the roof of a building they put in a few years ago during bloom season (again before I was ever a part of it all).

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you and I'm even sorrier to say that I don't know the name of that orchid/pink. I'm going to miss the next zoo care (going to a show), so I can't get out there and check for you either.

I wish I could have helped.
