Grays and browns are old hat (almost, anyway). If you’re looking for a refresher on what the color of warmth actually looks like, look no further than the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory come March 3. The 10th annual Orchid Show is nearly here.

I can’t remember the last time I had a sudden craving for ribbon candy, but there it is. More plants await the big move to exhibitions around the Garden in the Nolen Greenhouses for Living Collections.

The stars of this year’s Orchid Show are taking their places in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, creating flashes of tropical color on all manner of vertical surfaces. This is the year of the “Vertical Garden,” after all. Take a note–the show starts on March 3!

The Nolen Greenhouses are a little like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory when it comes to the fanciful, sans that whole “tunnel of mortifying imagery soundtracked with the mad singing of Gene Wilder” aspect. You can see for yourself whenever we hold the occasional Members Only tour.

You don’t actually need to bushwhack your way through the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. If that were the case, we probably wouldn’t be holding salsa classes there.
