A sure sign of spring is the annual orchid show at the NY Botanical Garden -- this year is the 17th show, in collaboration with Singapore Botanic Gardens and Gardens by the Bay. Singapore is home to one of the world's great orchid cultures and is a world leader in hybridizing orchids. So the show promises to be one of the garden's most spectacular.
Singapore Botanic Gardens is the only tropical garden in the world that's a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Gardens by the Bay is known for its vertical displays of orchids, whose structures have photovoltaic cells that harvest solar energy. How about that!
Thousands of orchids will be on display at the show, including many from the NYBG's collections. This is surely a show you won't want to miss, and there are numerous special events that go along with it.
