Lucie Loves… What's on alluring orchids 2015 - A tropical extravaganza at Kew Gardens

From 7 February - 8 March 2015 the rather stunning orchid festival returns to Kew Gardens once more. Stunning displays, seriously cool science and hands-on workshops mean that there is something about orchids for everyone.

To give you a flavour of what it’s like, here are a few photographs that I took during my lunchtime visit last year. 

For those of you who’ve been to Lates at the Natural History Museum or the Science Museum, you’ll be pleased to know that Kew Gardens is joining in the after-hours fun.
