Orchid Show

This month’s featured day trip? The NY Botanical Garden. The orchid show is ALWAYS one of my favorite annual trips but this year it’s even more gorgeous. The theme is Mexican Modernism and the colors are just beyond imagining. If you’re in need of a happy visit, a little sunshine, or a day of relaxation, head to the Bronx and get some indoor sunshine.

“Our annual celebration of all things orchid spotlights the vibrant setting of Mexico for The Orchid Show: Mexican Modernism. Set off on a journey where the fusion of tradition and contemporary artistry takes center stage amid awe-inspiring displays of orchids, and wander through lush landscapes brought into vivid relief with thousands of flowers that showcase diverse ecosystems. Among bright arrangements of orchids in settings inspired by the bold, multicolored designs of Mexican modernist architect Luis Barragán, come visit a paradise of tropical beauty—without ever leaving the Bronx.”
