Annual Orchid Show features 800 blooming orchids in lush, tropical landscape. The Missouri Botanical Garden maintains one of the world’s premier orchid collections. The Orchid Show is the only time of year when a vast, rotating selection of orchids from the Garden’s historic collection is available for public viewing. The 2012 Orchid Show celebrated the Garden’s “Year of China” and 25th year of work on the Flora of China project with Chinese-themed accents and suspended silk lanterns.
