A question. Years ago there was an orchid greenhouse place in South San Francisco or belmont. Near the graveyards if I remember correctly.

They had some really beautiful orchids. I went there with a small photo group once.
Are they still around?

If they are you should try and wrangle a way in.

It was called "Acres of Orchids" and I don't know if they are still in business or not. It was in South San Francisco.

I would be surprised because of land values.
