ORCHIDS: Queens of Intrigue – Orchid Exhibition with Plant Sale

WHAT CAN YOU LOOK FORWARD TO?

As the days brighten with the arrival of spring, the Fata Morgana greenhouse hosts its much-anticipated annual orchid exhibition. This vibrant event brings the allure of colorful flowers, offering a welcome contrast to the dreariness of winter. More than just a feast for the eyes, the exhibition provides an educational journey into the captivating world of orchids.

This year’s exhibition explores these plants' extraordinary strategies to survive and thrive. Orchids are true masters of deception—capable of using clever tricks and sophisticated traps to attract their pollinators. Visitors will be amazed to learn how orchids can manipulate the behavior of their pollinators, ensuring their reproduction through an intricate dance of illusion.

For those interested in taking a piece of this beauty home, a plant sale is available in the Exhibition Hall in the Ornamental Garden. Orchids of all kinds—ranging from stunning hybrids to rare botanical species.

Come and discover the incredible world of orchids, and let yourself be charmed by these true masters of disguise!
