This breathtaking event showcases an astonishing array of blooming and exotic orchids, many available for purchase, plus spring flowers and lush tropical plants for the season ahead. In addition to the stunning orchids for purchase from Milaeger’s and selected quality vendors, you can also shop a wide selection of plants —from early spring flowers to lush summer tropicals and specialty plants you won’t find anywhere else. Stroll through vibrant displays, photograph extraordinary plants, and connect with expert growers and vendors.
