Orchid Show

Escape the Missouri winter and journey to the tropical island nation of Madagascar during the Missouri Botanical Garden's annual Orchid Show. The show offers visitors a once-a-year opportunity to see a rotating display of hundreds of orchids from the Garden's expansive permanent living collection. The Garden is currently celebrating the 25th anniversary of its permanent presence in Madagascar and the Orchid Show further commemorates the research and conservation efforts made during the Garden's tenure.

This year visitors will get a peek at life in Madagascar as native plants, artifacts and water falls make their way to the 5,000-square-foot Orthwein Floral Display Hall. Visit a Malagasy village with bamboo huts complete with palm leaf roofs. Stroll along the curved paths to uncover water features, living plant walls and bamboo structures. View native artifacts including weavings, clothing and canoes. Interpretive pieces will educate visitors about the Garden's ongoing research in Madagascar.
