The Orchid Forest

The Orchid Forest, a vivid orchid exhibition, will transform the conservatory's tropical rainforest with a rainbow of more than 15,000 bright pink, yellow, orange, lime green and purple blooms. Visitors will stroll along rolling fog into a Spanish-moss cave and through a spectacular array of tropical orchids suspended in trees. The exhibition will include orchids primarily from Hawaii and California including oncidium, dendrobium, cymbidium, epidendrum and phalaenopsis. Opening weekend also coincides with the American Institute of Floral Designers Show, where visitors will have the opportunity to view arrangements created by some of the most noted designers in Central Ohio. The three-day show will feature a floral design demonstration on Jan. 14 from 2-4 p.m. where AIFD members will create arrangements inspired by the conservatory's current exhibitions - Fiori: A Chihuly Garden of Glass and The Orchid Forest.
