The colors of FRIDA KAHLO in the Conservatory, more than just bombastic oranges, yellows, and reds, are also met with soft pinks and greens, creating beautiful contrast throughout the display.

The passion flowers growing around the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory—both inside and out—are consistently some of the most fascinating blooms to join us in summer. But their frizzy, tentacled forms are surprisingly commonplace in many tropical climates, where they’re often hybridized or cultivated for their flowers and fruit.
