Orchids and Fish

Last weekend we went to the San Elijo lagoon or estuary by Encinitas where fresh water meets salt water. It was pretty but the coolest part was the jumping fish. We stood by the water's edge for about an hour just watching the fish leap about 3 feet into the air every few minutes. Cody actually managed to get a photo of one.


On the way home from LA the other day Cody saw an orchid green house and store right by the freeway in Encinitas that looked interesting. We decided to go check it out on our way to the lagoon. It was absolutely amazing!! There were thousands of gorgeous, exotic and colorful orchids. Here is a sampling of what they had.

Hey Pat! What are the scientific names for each of these orchids?

I think a few of those orchids were the inspiration for some of George Lucas' Star Wars aliens!
