Brazil: Rio de Janeiro Botanical Gardens

Introduction to: Brazil: Rio de Janeiro Botanical Gardens

An obvious highlight of my visit to Rio. The unexpected happened when I tried to visit the orchid house. It was closed for some reason but the handsome young guard opened the gate, let me look at the orchid collection and then made it clear he did so in order to seduce me. It didn’t take much for me to decide to follow him into an office where pollination of another sort occurred.
