The Mystery of the Orchid Revealed at the NYBG


Come to the 16th annual Orchid Show at the New York Botanical Garden and get a whiff of the spring that is about to arrive. Belgian floral artist Daniel Ost is the Orchid Show designer. His amazing sculptures and displays interpret the stunning flowers in original, thoughtful ways.

There will be almost endless opportunities to snap photographs gorgeous enough to induce envy in friends and family. For those interested in getting into the orchid-growing action, there are orchids for sale and experts on hand to explain how to grow your own.

To top off what is already a fantastic day of flower adoration, on certain evenings cocktails are served; Thai dance and live music will be performed.

The show is already in full force but continues to run through to Sunday April 22, 2018. It is hosted at the New York Botanical Garden at 2900 Southern Boulevard in the Bronx, inside the Enid A. Haupt Observatory. Tickets cost $23 on weekdays and $28 on weekends.

Come to the Orchid Show and have a “bloomin’ good time.”
