Morning Eye Candy: Orange You Glad
Posted in Photography on March 8 2014, by Matt Newman
Skip the bars, step into the jungle (not the one Axl Rose was so adamant about, mind you). Tonight, our Conservatory—with all its thousands of orchids—becomes home to cocktails, music, and not a single hint of winter’s chill. Grab tickets to tonight’s Orchid Evening before they’re gone.

The palms in our palm dome are putting on their own little show independent of the orchids. They won’t be outdone!

Morning Eye Candy: Saturday Night Cocktails
Posted in Photography on March 5 2014, by Matt Newman
The first of this year’s Orchid Evenings is only a few days away. We’re expecting much milder temperatures for our night under the lights and blooms of the Conservatory, but even if we weren’t, the tropical warmth and cocktail bar would certainly do the trick on their own! Don’t miss out on tickets.

TPPC 2014: Week Six Winners!
Posted in Photography on March 3 2014, by Lansing Moore
Here we are, at the end of our Tropical Paradise Photo Contest’s last round of finals. As we welcomed the colorful debut of The Orchid Show: Key West Contemporary this past weekend, we also had to say goodbye to Tropical Paradise for another year. Today we announce the last finalists who managed to capture the magic of that exhibition through their lenses.
While the Oscars may be over, we still have our own prize to give out for “Best Picture”—a seat in the NYBG Adult Education Photography class of the winner’s choice. We will now deliberate over the past six rounds of weekly winners, and announce the Grand Prize Winners next Tuesday. So without further ado, we announce the winners of Best Photo in the Macro Category, and Best Photo in the Sense-of-Place Category. The envelope please…

This Weekend: Escape to Key West
Posted in Programs and Events on February 28 2014, by Lansing Moore
Tomorrow is the first day of The Orchid Show: Key West Contemporary! This weekend also marks the beginning of March, so while it may still be chilly outside, you can be sure spring is just around the corner. In the meantime, the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory has all the warmth and color of the Florida Keys. To kick off this very special Orchid Show, we have a full array of programs scheduled this weekend to help visitors immerse themselves in the world of orchids.
The exhibit will host roaming guides, and Ross Hall will feature special live music by Jimmy Kenny & The Pirate Beach Band to complete the festive Florida experience. For those who want to keep these unique and enigmatic blooms at home, our Orchid Care Demonstrations will cover all the basics for you to cultivate with confidence. Gardening and orchid experts will also lead Orchid Q&A sessions at Shop in the Garden, helping guests choose the right orchid varieties for their home growing conditions. You can even pick up an orchid from the wide variety we have on sale at the shop. Click through for this weekend’s full program schedule, including new children’s activities!
