Orchid Daze: Hanging Gardens

Babylon meets Midtown this winter when the Garden’s annual orchid celebration highlights soaring hanging gardens dripping with lush, fragrant beauty, presented in the Fuqua Conservatory and Orchid Center – home to the United States’ largest collection of species orchids. Get ready to explore a fragrant tapestry of richly colored pansy orchids hanging in the Conservatory lobby. Browse the contents of a stunning "floating" orchid jewel box with a dazzlnig array of jewel-toned vandas in the Orchid Center Atrium. Marvel at the fanciful clouds of moth orchids floating in three large rings above the formal bed in the Orchid Display House.
