The weather in London has been amazing lately. Today it was in the mid 50s again. It is hard to believe, but I kind of think it's not going to get cold again--that this is actually the beginning of spring. How weird.
In order to take advantage of the mild, rain-free weather, I spent the afternoon at the Royal Botanical (Kew) Gardens with Lauren, Vanessa, and Reina. London is a pretty gray place, winter or spring, so we were in the mood for some color and some fresh air. Kew Gardens is no doubt a fabulous place to visit in April when everything is blooming and there are leaves on the trees, but there's plenty to see in the low season too (plus, admission is discounted, which is always a bonus!). There are three big greenhouses on the grounds, one of which was hosting a tropical flower exhibition.

What are these called? I always forget!

So many orchids!
