The Orchid Show: Earth, Air, Fire, Water

Making use of the four elements of nature, this year’s Orchid Show features the awe-inspiring diversity and beauty of the largest family of flowering plants on earth. The Orchid Show will combine a display of living plants in the Tropical Conservatory with an exhibition of treasures from the research collections in the Museum of Botany & the Arts. Both parts of the Orchid Show will explore the science and splendor of orchids, making use of earth, air, fire, and water.
