Orchid show!  The exclusive Preview Benefit.
Take a picture tour of the Amazing Orchids.

I attended the exclusive Orchid Treasures Preview Benefit this past Friday March 31st 2007.  It was a playful take on the typical orchid show.  Decked out with live Pirates, treasure and a Caribbean flair. 

The energy in the air was very uplifting.  Perhaps it was all of the oxygen coming from the hundreds of orchids. 

Or perhaps it was the generous glasses of wine being poured by local wineries, some of the best in the world.   Featuring one of my personal favorites Salisbury Vineyards. (Jen below Left is holding one of her families signature wines.)

Eric the pirate (above right) when not counting his flowers is making guests of the event feel at home!

Eclectic and delicious bites were served by Sandy's Catering.  Sandy (in the Purple Chefs jacket) .

The elegant Halcyon Brass quartet played music fit for royalty all night.  The music added a level of sophistication to the already decadent evening.
