There is an orchid garden opened to the public started by Stirling Dickenson on Santa Domingo up the hill, but other then that you would have to either drive to Morelia to their orchid gardens at their park (about a 3 hour drive) or to the Sierra Gorda which is an enchanting place with wild orchids everywhere as it is humid and tropical. It is a 6 hour drive from San Miguel, but well worth the trip. You could google Las Pozas to see the gardens built by Edward James. It is a difficult drive.<br /><br />Other then that, I'm not much help. I'll try to connect with an orchid grower here to see if he has any other ideas. <br /><br />The State of chiapas, a plane ride away is full of orchids as well in certain areas.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-54720696421806571242019-06-09T12:27:22.306-05:002019-06-09T12:27:22.306-05:00Hi Babs coming to San Miguel on July 6 through 20 ...Hi Babs coming to San Miguel on July 6 through 20 2019, would lobve to get with someone to go in nthe woods to see orchids.
