Not only were there a multitude of flying and perched origami birds at the Holiday Show at the Olbrich Botanical Gardens. Living up to its name, the botanicals were also in abundance. Scattered red amaryllis were set amidst huge beds of white poinsettias.

A trip to my local Botanical Gardens to see the Holiday Show. I was thrilled to see that there were origami birds tucked in dozens of branches – doves, cardinals, blue jays, even a bald eagle. This bright red cardinal is one of my favorites. Third in the series.
