Almost better than seeing a packed house full of smiling faces at The Orchid Show: On Broadway is seeing The Orchid Show through your–the visitors’–eyes. That’s one of the amazing things about Twitter, you can instantly show us what you love about The Orchid Show!

So we thought we would show-off some of the beautiful photos that you have been taking inside the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. Want to be sure we see your shots in the future? It’s simple: Just tag your photo with our Twitter username @nybg. If we get enough shots, we’ll do another twitpic roundup in a week or two.

Lots of people bring their cameras to The Orchid Show: On Broadway, but very few bring an instant film camera.

But that’s just what longtime Garden member, blogger, and photographer Cindy Quaint did this past weekend. We loved her photos so much that we asked her if we could share them with you, and Cindy kindly obliged.

The dreamy, fuzzy quality in these photos make The Orchid Show seem even more romantic than it already is.
