Marvel at eye-popping color around every turn and bathe your senses in botanical bliss, with hundreds of blooming orchids artfully displayed for your enjoyment. This year's exhibit - Big Bugs, Big Questions - celebrates insects, orchids, and inquiry by inviting visitors to ask questions about the world around them. Come meet a praying mantis disguised as a flower, bees that collect scents from orchids, beetles that munch on blooms, and more!
