We headed to Orchid World on the way to the hotel that’s closer to the airport. Orchid World is a nice piece of property near the center of the island. It rained on the way there, the first real rain shower we’ve had then entire week. It didn’t last long but it came down hard.
When we entered Orchid World the woman told us that the bloom percentage was about 40%. She gave us an umbrella just in case there were more rain showers (there weren’t). The grounds are well kept and supplemented with lots of other tropical plants and flowers. The view of the sugar cane fields is quite gorgeous. This is more of a farming area much like the northern part of the island.
