About What's Blooming

There is always something interesting in bloom in the Smithsonian Orchid Collection.... and we love to display these plants for everyone to enjoy. We hope you'll have a chance to see our exhibits in person, but for many that is an impossibility. Therefore we are using this space to showcase our most beautiful and fascinating orchids to all who might be interested in them. This will also be a venue in which to show off plants that might not be suitable for exhibition (too miniature, too delicate or finicky, or extremely rare) but are still of interest to both the amateur and connoisseur. We hope you enjoy looking through our weekly selection of 'Greenhouse Stars' as much as we enjoy sharing them with you.
