So that’s it! Keep an eye out next week for the grand finale of this beautiful contest! Thank you so much to each and every one of you for entering. It is so interesting for us to see our world through your eyes. You give us something new to think about every week. Please keep submitting your photographs to our Group Pool and we’ll begin doing weekly (or near weekly) round-ups of our favorites on Twitter soon.

In the meantime, if you’re still inspired to come to the Garden and shoot some photographs, The Orchid Show is an amazing excuse to try out some new techniques and spring is really beginning to, well, spring around our grounds.
