Up and up, The Orchid Show is coming together in the final stretch. And a good thing, too, since it starts on Saturday! Check out the second of our “Making Of” videos to get an idea of how things are playing out in the Conservatory.

I’m resigning myself, happily, to the flood of orchid photos we’ll be seeing from Ivo over the next couple of months. Everything from the boisterous moth orchids you know so well to elegant jewelry like this, an epiphytic orchid that grows on mossy trees in the Philippines.

Members, if you ever have a chance to join us for one of our occasional tours of the Nolen Greenhouses, think of it as your golden ticket to a fantastical plant paradise.

It is time once again to announce another round of winners in our Tropical Paradise Photo Contest. We certainly hope you all enjoyed the long Presidents’ Day weekend in spite of the soggy weather. Appropriately enough, some of our best photographic entries this week captured the beauty of water. Of course, there is a world of difference between the warm mists of the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, and the ice covering the grounds.
If you’re looking to try your hand at photographing our permanent Conservatory collections, we’re now into week five of a total six judging windows to submit your work, so don’t wait long! Simply upload your photos of the Tropical Paradise exhibition currently in the Conservatory to our Flickr group (don’t forget the #tropicalparadise hashtag) before 6 p.m. on Friday, February 21, to be entered into this week’s judging. Until then, please enjoy the three winning photos in the Macro and Sense-of-Place categories, and stay dry out there!

I know everything beyond your window is likely a wash of winter’s best efforts right now, but the color will find its way back soon.

Happy Presidents’ Day from one of my favorite lilacs, ‘President Lincoln’! It’s not blooming yet, of course (expect to see and smell these lovelies in mid-April), but when it does I’ll be sure to shout about it. We’re open to the public today and kicking off our week-long Culinary Kids Food Festival, so don’t be shy!

It’s early days yet in the preparation for our summer Groundbreakers exhibition, but already there’s so much promise brewing.
